Re: One versus two-piece backs
Maybe I'm missing something, but as I've been thinking about this lately, more than I ever had before, I've started wondering why two-piece backs are so much more common than one-piece backs. Is it something to do with wood supply? That is, the availability of boards that are wide enough? Tops are made from one piece of that width, right? Are there not enough wide enough boards around to supply builders with material for one piece backs as well? They're typically made from different woods, aren't they, so there wouldn't be a problem with supply, right? What am I missing?
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
