Arnold my friend !! For those of you who dont know, Arnold is the fellow who works together with André. Arnold works alot with soundboard rebuilding projects and is IMHO an all around great guy. Thanks for chirping in, but I am afraid you lost me a bit... first you say there is no K point, then you say there is. Then you say Klaus and Udo use different crowning methods, and then you say they use the compression method. Begins to sound like the strawman in the Wizard of Oz just after the goons raided them in the haunted forest and flew off with Dorothy ! :) Seriously tho... would you mind going into a little more detail. I'd loveto have this whole K point thing clarified for me. I've been a bit curious ever since I first heard about it, and havent seen the subject pop up here before at all. Also... I remember distinctly Udo talking about crown and compression along the grain being << essential >>... so if you know more about what he meant there I'd love to hear that as well. And for what its worth, your use of the word Tension should (I believe) be interepreted as general Stress by readers. Correct me if I am wrong Arnold.. but you didnt mean actually stretching something... just applying different stresses.. yes ? Thanks for the post ! RicB
