will a BJ 5X7 back fit a deardorff 5X7?

[koh303]

Are the BJ backs compatible with deardorff in the 5X7 size?

Probably not a perfect fit (actually I have no idea), but you can easily modify the back to fit by either cutting it down or gluing some additional wood around the edges of the back. Will not have to modify the Deardorff, so if you find a matching back at some point in the future it will pop right in.
