    The times I've done this there seems to be  a fair bit -o- saw dust from 
machining.  After  re-sawing one  slice off the slab  each exposed face will 
require a trip thru the  planer/jointer  to provide for a nice glue joint.  Hey 
there's waste  in any wood milling operation.  Terry has a big fat bandsaw 
though & I  hear he's good with it.  Hey Terry, Still got all the fingers?

Right.  I was wondering how it would be less wasteful to make  laminated
ribs.  Now I get it.  Curiosity has me asking what kind  of stock you are
using to make your ribs, Terry.  How many  plies?  How much have you
experimented with different number of plies,  dimensions, grain orientations,
etc?

This subject is intriguing to  me.
