Sounds good =) Been debating doing something like that for a long time, but I've got a terrible mix of being lazy and not having a workspace.

Got my package in the mail today! Really blown away by it.

FYI prospective buyers, there are little rubbery feet on the bottom side of the rest so it won't slide. I didn't consider it but I'm so glad it's there.

 I'll try to post pics tomorrow when I can get it in front of the board at the office.

Is it Arm-R-Seal?  Arm-R-Seal is the ****.  Personally, I prefer a lacquer, but damn California made it illegal.  So shellac, oil, or poly it is.

It's not too hard to do, even easier (and more awesome) if you do it with curly maple.
