This was the effect i was after.Honest.
Gap is now 5/8" wide

Need to get those walls below ¼ inch thick, Paul - and especially the base and the corner.

As Nick said, turn the walls thinner, or turn the central heating off. (Been there, done that) Ain't learning curves great?

Cracking piece there Paul, now lets see you splice a nice piece of contrasting wood in there and then thin the walls down. :lol:

Someone in this thread had a piece that did that and 'sewed' it up with strips from an old suede jacket or something. Looked good too. Ring bells with anyone?
