Another small project on Trident

Ed, as a wood finisher by trade, I agree with Jayson. However if you're going to use the maple be sure to make all cut outs prior to finishing. Also consider pre-drilling the screw holes and using machine thread screws with washers and nuts so as not to rupture the finish. Be sure to finish all sides and areas equally. Whatever you do to one side, do to the other. This will help prevent warping.
