[QUOTE="nerdtastic, post: 465522, member: 12009"] I am going to leave the seats the length they are which is a bit long. They have seasoned now for nearly 3 years and oak tends to be pretty dimensionally stable which is just one of the reasons it is so highly prized for boat building. Hopefully, they won't shrink much but if they do it should be fine and I am going to brace them on the underside with some angle steel that holds the flotation pods on and that should also help keep them from warping. I will have more pictures as I get it put back together during the week that might help make more sense. [/QUOTE]
