Hey Now, Great shots Terry, I'm interested in seeing the glueing process. Steve OC CA Pura Vida ----- Original Message ----- From: Farrell To: pianotech at ptg.org Sent: 2/6/2007 8:14:26 PM Subject: Cuttin' Sitka for Soundboards Recently got a couple orders for soundboard panels for a Steinway B and a Steinway D. Thought I should start cuttin' some Sitka as a first step in building these panels. Just thought I would share some photos of the process - not everyone has the opportunity to see this. Picture below is of my general setup. The two-inch-thick Sitka boards I am resawing are on the floor after the first cut. My untouched two-inch stock is on the left of the picture. Bandsaw is on the right. The Sitka stock I have now runs from boards of 16 to 20 feet long. In the picture is a 16-foot-long board ready to go through the bandsaw. The object here is to produce flitches for building a soundboard panel. There's the board half-way through the cut. And the cut is complete! Here is a picture of the power feed I have for my bandsaw...... ;-) Terry Farrell Farrell Piano www.farrellpiano.com terry at farrellpiano.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
