Well, I hope that some of these options pan out...
Looks like I might have to become handy with some exotic wood-working skills. Hate to do anything homemade, but I may not have much choice.

Tell you folks what- if my handy-work pans out, I will e-mail pic.s of results, maybe you'll want one of these... won't bother sending anyhting if the results aren't satisfactorily sensational.

Anyway for all the help. I'll keep trying too.
