I am building an alder blanket chest and the lid is designed to hinge about 5" away from the back so that it can sit against a wall. My concern is attaching the 5" strip to the chest. If I biscuit and glue to both the back and the ends, am I risking this 5" piece cracking from seasonal movement? The main lid will attach to the 5" piece with 2 hinges.
