Splintergroup- thanks, the original plan had many layers.  I simplified it a bit.

RyanGi and Pottz - thanks!

GeorgeWest- thanks, my adaptation was a way to simplify the original, plus I liked the larger central cross.  The sled seems really nice and I think for the size pieces, the single runner will be fine, but i understand the value the double runner design.  How nice to find new ones at an auction!

Robinhood - thank you.  I had so many different wood types spread over my worktable, and liked these contrasts together.
