Or a C.C.  belly that was not dry enough. ie to high an emc when it was ribbed and then caved in when under the load.

I'm thinking around 600 to 1000. Nevertheless, my thought is that Kent's damage 

was caused either by a flaw in the wood, or a catastrophic event, like a big hit 

or kick.

All,



This talk about the bellyman has me wondering 2 things; have I ever 

inadvertently caused such damage, because I certainly am a large person and have 

carved many a bridge, and secondly, how much pressure is exerted on the board 

when fully strung? I think I have an idea, but certainly this is more than my 

ample 250 pounds.



Jim
