I did a little brainstorming earlier today and came up with this idea:



The execution of this idea still has yet to be put to the test. The outside edges need to be radiused to match the curve of the sides. I don't know why I think that that'll be tricky for me to pull off. I guess because the kerfing needs to be notched so that the top and rim come in full contact otherwise there's no way that the side braces will be in perfect contact with both the sides and the UTB in order to get a perfect glue joint.

So now I'm notching the kerfing (with a chisel not my Dremel) but I'm getting that "fish missing the water" sort of feeling that I'm missing something crucial.
