MOTM

While I can imagine better rail solutions for me, I have to admit the flat 
rail does seem like the best all around solution.

Or put washers between the wood and the flat rail!

Drilling the wood behind the flat rail seems like another unMOTM option (OK 
for a stooge or two, but a better general solution is needed).

Although a lot of people seem to want that aluminum peeking around the edges 
Moog look!

10U or 12U lengths seem like they would be a reasonable compromise.
