>Hmmmm. Well, stranger things happen a sea, ya know! I guess that's what I also do. Happy planing. Ya might want to try to plane it like I taper soundboard panels. Do it first with a router and make "steps" up from the end (start with the deepest cut at the end of the block) of the block to the middle (I don't know if that is enough explanation for you to picture it). Routing it off first has the advantage of minimizing and planing and it also serves as a depth guide while planing. Hand planing an 8-inch wide hunk of hard maple AIN'T gonna be ANY fun!< Terry Farrell On Sep 15, 2009, at 10:39 AM, Chuck Behm wrote: That makes perfect sense, Terry. The factory, in fact, had put a router cut from one side to the other on the straight back edge of the tapered surface which I'm sure served as a depth guide. The tapers on the ends go down to the full depth of the router cut on either end, which makes it easy to see how much has been shaved off.
