Have some neat restuarants, especially the Montogomery Rib place, but
you can keep your chilli.

I'm guessing your near Akron? Closest I've been to there is passing
thru on rte 80 on my way to Ann Arbor.

The days I'm in L/A, but grew up in Wooster.

North till you smell it,
West till you step in it.

Unfortunately the pieces we had are in another state and got broken.
Ergo my looking to locate more.

I'll end up at least trying to turn a version. I'll only be able to
make 12 in max length, but I think I can get creative with that.

Assemble 12" lengths with dowels and make them as long as needed.

I'll check some of the privately owned Hd'we stores and smaller
chain
stores. Maybe I can at least find an example to duplicate rather
than
transferring from sketch.

Can you get somebody to measure across the flats of an existing piece?

Once you have the square blank size, the turning should be pretty
simple.
