Pine is awfully soft for use as a top. Doug fir is better... You can use three and 4 pice tops and I would recommend 4 piece and add the wings on the outside. Looks better than a big stripe down the center with 3 piece. |

multi-piece is ok, but not pine! you can fin some cedar top for 25$ and some sitka fore 30-35$. Francis |
