I assume you mean the "face" to be the surface glued = to the panel and the spine is the opposite surface. What if the "face" = was straight and the "spine" was contoured (feathered) originally. Dry = down a panel and glue on the ribs. Let the board develop its compression = crowning and now you have a curved straight "spine" and a curved "face". Terry Farrell Terry asked: " How can you =3D determine that? If the rib is curved, could it still not be from panel = =3D compression? You may well be correct, but I just don't see how one = could =3D be so sure. Terry, It's simple. Use a straight edge. If the rib "face" is curved and the = "spine" is straight, then the rib has a machined "crown". With an olde = piano, the "spine" may be curved the other way. Still a machined-in = crown.<G>=20 Joe Garrett, R.P.T. Captain, Tool Police Squares R I ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
