[member=167]neilc[/member] thank you! Yes, here's a picture of that side. Unfortunately I wasn't able to resolve the bowing. This is a piece I made free of charge for a close friend of mine (like all of my furniture that I have built so far - it's a hobby for me) so I wasn't worried about it, and my friend doesn't mind it at all. She said it gives it character. It is a good lesson though. Next time I'll use a more stable species, or make them 1/2" deep instead of 1/4". I'm glad I learned this lesson.
