<DIV>Well, the photo angle might distort things a little - =
plus the
belly rail edge, as the panel lies on the table, isn't even close to =
parallel
with the edge of the table. I didn't measure the grain angle, but if you =
rotate
the panel counter-clockwise on the table to make the belly rail =
parallel
with the front edge of the table, you'd have something that looks a =
little more
familiar I suppose.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thought some of you folks out there =
might not

below is
of a panel for a Steinway D being glued up with panel clamps. You =
are
looking at the panel from the keyboard position - that is, the belly =
rail
edge is in the foreground, treble end toward right, etc. Enjoy! =
I sure
enjoyed building it!</FONT></DIV>
