Nick,

The idea of using cypress was a good one ... the outdoor
cypress furniture factory supplied over 2,500' of 'cove and
bead' for $ 250.00 (mostly 6' - 8 pieces, some 10') for my
double.  All nice consistant light color.  This all came
from his scrap pile so I feel that I saved the material from
wasteful 'burning' which was it's destination.

I'm well on my way with the construction process.

The guy is willing to do more (using my C & B bits) in case
anyone is interested.  Shipable by UPS ....
