Hi Chip!
The worst of the bubbles I was actually able to get rid of, what was left was the recalcitrant ^$#@*'s that I couldn't fill before losing patience (so it was actully much worse at the beginning than what you saw at R2K2). You are absolutely correct in pointing out the bubbles along many of the veneer edges.... it had EVERYTHING to do with how the veneer was applied, and therefore, an excellent lesson to point to. Thanks for the kind words about the design, I appreciate it. I can't wait for R2K3 to see everybody's cool stuff!!!
Thanks,
Bob
