Dale,
The problem with notching Delignit, and likely Falconwood as well though I=
=20
haven't tried it, is the 90=B0 cross ply. Laminating 1.5-2mm maple at under=
=20
10=B0 angles gets you enough cross plying for strength, but it's still close=
=20
enough to parallel to hand notch if you don't happen to have built a power=
=20
notcher just yet. Try it. It's terrific stuff.
