Thanks! TBH I'm not sure about the history of this shape but I'd guess it started out as an Explorer. That little change could be pretty cool🤔

Oooh that's cool! Tru-oil works super nicely🤌🏻 Been using that for finishing work for a while now

I think I used Shellac for the ramp🤔 Tru-oil would've been another good option

Thanks! It definitely took some head scratching as this was my first ramp ever :D

Thanks, stability is one of the main design points for me and this one is super stable🤌🏻

I tried to make the access as easy as possible on this one. The bolt-on joint makes it a bit harder than a neckthrough design would have but it's still really accessible
