IN EARLY 2025 the length of the Crisscross Arm was reduced by 1-1/2". Thus the Crisscross mortise length is reduced from 19-1/2" to 18". This addendum to our Split Top Roubo Plans provides updated sections from the plans so builders can install the V2 Crisscross while still using the Split Top Roubo plans until we can draft a completely new set of plans. The V2 Crisscross affects only two components of the STR: The Front Left Leg and the Chop. The shorter Crisscross Arm more easily allows benches to be built at a reduced height.
