I have done some stained glass in my life using both lead solder and lead came. My teachers at the time (a married couple) had been life long professional glass workers and were concerned about possible lead levels prior to beginning a family. They both had their lead levels checked and were told that they were insignificant. Point is that for all the handling of lead and exposure solder fumes a full time stained glass worker would have and not to have any significant lead buildup indicates that the possibility of a woodworker accumulating any is minuscule.

I used a thickness planer to get a straight length and wound up with about 3/4 thick. I looked at Paul’s build of this in the Artisan book and noted that he only used a 3/4 inch board in that build so I decided to keep it. I did omit the rabbet and groove and merely screwed it in to the bearer boards. It has worked fine so far.
