Dale,
<br> Could you expand your thought a little here? I don't
really understand what you are saying. Specifically what do you mean by
"making a straight line over large lengths of wood". Are you talking about
gaps in joining boards? I'm afraid I'm not following your train of thought.

Lately I've been day dreaming about finger joints. Any feelings on how
that might work in a soundboard situation? It seems that a finger joint
would offer more surface area than a tongue and groove. Call me a ponderer.</font></font>

Greg -Finger joints will not work. Even the tongue and groove joints must
be positioned towards the bottom side of the panel so that they are not
exposed while diaphramizing.</font></font>

If you've not ever tried to make a straight line over large lengths of
wood then I must tell you how difficult it is even for the best woodworkers.</font></font>
