You're right, it could've used more offset, so time will tell. And I have to agree somewhat with the others, I was close to leaving it uncovered.
However, like I mentioned in the build, it wasn't quite perfect and the grain didn't match up. If I were to do it again, I would do a better job and
leave it uncovered.
