<DIV>??<FONT size=3>? This has been?fun project for Dennis & I. =
?The
1890's Stwy C in process for Dave Andersen had an unusually?thick =
block.
Thicker than standard supply house stock. This one is?1 =
&?11/16th"s thick.
Normal or usual being about about 1 & 1/2'. I had a?large =
supply?of good
maple around from scavanging uprights etc & found a good use for =
it here.?
The average old Steinway had 3 thick laminations & a 1/8th" thin =
one top
& bottom. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>?? The one we made below has 4 quarter cut Maple =
plys?
oriented in the same fashion as the Bolduc blocks except for the thick =
bottom
piece which, will never even taste the end of the pin. The top 5mm cap =
is cut
from delignit & aids the resistance to flagpoling. Also the block =
is still
oversized & the bottom Lam. will be shaved another 2 or 3 mm to =
final
dimension. The whloe thing glued together with Elmers glue all.....
.................gotcha!!!? Not?!? Bolduc wood glue.</FONT></DIV>
