What are the dimensions for the average size Weissenborn wood - sides & back and top?

I have the Stew-Mac plans, and it says .095" back and sides,
and I think the top is .110,
but, it really depends on the wood you are using.
That's all I can tell ya.
I'm still going round and round with this.
All the bracing sizes on this plan are .380", square.
So, I think that needs some changing.

I'll have to dig out my patterns to be 100% but I'm fairly sure the top/backs are 8X35 and the sides 4X42. I use slightly deeper than average sides and the shape is my own but is pretty close dimension-wise the standard Weiss.

Thanks, Mike, those are the numbers I need.
