[CAUT] strange rib damage

[Jim Busby]

Dale,

I think you win the puzzler prize there. That seems like the most plausible answer so far, barring footprints and such.

Best,
Jim

p.s. Good to have you back on CAUT. Hope all is well.

Or a C.C.  belly that was not dry enough. ie to high an emc when it was ribbed and then caved in when under the load.

I'm thinking around 600 to 1000. Nevertheless, my thought is that Kent's damage







was caused either by a flaw in the wood, or a catastrophic event, like a big hit







or kick.

All,














This talk about the bellyman has me wondering 2 things; have I ever







inadvertently caused such damage, because I certainly am a large person and have







carved many a bridge, and secondly, how much pressure is exerted on the board







when fully strung? I think I have an idea, but certainly this is more than my







ample 250 pounds.














Jim
