I appreciate the sentiment, Charles. That's the hazards of doing your first build with western red cedar. When I ran it through the thickness sander I intentionally left it a little thicker (.120-.125") and didn't even bother swapping out the 80 grit roll on the drum sander for 100 grit. I figured it was going to get marred and that it would be best to smooth it all out once it came time to level the binding with the top.
