I cut two pieces of balsa to finish each of the tops. I would have used basswood, but I didn't have any 1/8" thick on hand and this is the hardest sheet of balsa I've ever seen. :ohmy: You can't bruise it with your fingernail at all. Very dense fibers on this one.

I sanded the edges and adjusted the fit before coating the pieces with spackling to remove any hint of grain and sanded the pieces smooth before painting them to look like stained concrete.
