       I agree. Also as I recall the whole idea behind curved laminated ribs 
is to produce a more uniformly strong rib or in other words something where 
strength calculations are more predictable If that's the case then how many 
laminations is desireable in a rib say 24 to 28 mm tall?  3mm is about all most 
planers will squeeze down to so seems that 4 or 5 laminations of  5 or 6 mm 
would be all thats practical. So far in the few sets I've done I think I've used 4 
to 5 laminations.
