John, I've been following the suggestions. The saw kerf solution is "quick'n
dirty", but you loose a lot of strength. If somebody's butt is going to be
on this, they may get a surprise when you hit a bump. Plywood is strong, but
only if intact. I personally favor Trevor's suggestions to laminate thin
strip into the shape you need. It is more work, but you will have a strong
piece. Do it right and do it once.
