I've always loved the story of the little red hen. David Love davidlovepianos at comcast.net www.davidlovepianos.com Please then, by all means expound. How much compression is imparted into the panel with a typical RC&S design you are working with when down bearing is applied so as to take the board to with in 75 % of flat... i.e. leaving 25 % of original crown. Take a panel dried to 6.5 %... specify the rib radii for a three or four areas of the panel. How do you calculate the degree of compression created ? This is a point I think many of us would benefit from. Cheers RicB
