The fan braces are 5mm wide and are 8mm high at the highest points. I was/am expecting to take them closer to 6mm at the high point, but it was much easier to cut them to 8mm to start with.
Other then that, its a basic Torres pattern.
Because I have no idea where i'm going with the voicing, I'm half expecting it to not work out, and i'm already thinking theres a 25% chance this top might also end up on the scrap heap, if you're thinking this bracing looks bad, perhaps 25% is about 50% too low.
