They say every day is a school day and I'm definitely learning today. I hadn’t even given any thought to the possibility of the ply shrinking as I’ve always been told it's supposed to be dimensionally stable.  The ply pattern was glued up for around a month before applying the lipping but it had only been kept in the garage so probably hadn’t dried out at all.  And the lipping has indeed got a concave profile to it where its still firmly stuck so I think you’ve definitely nailed the problem there.  As for it being Beech rather than Iroko, again, you're probably both completely right. It was sold to me as Iroko and being fairly new to hardwoods, I just blindly believed what I was told.  Thanks again for the help. I think I'll have another crack at this when I've built up enough scrap ply but next time I'll get it into the house for drying before lipping to see if I can attack the issue that way instead. It may well end up the same but it will give me chance to practice my mitred corners again if nothing else (only this time with less clamping force).   Dan</blockquote>
