---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Those of you who routinely use a laminated rib. My question is are these flat laminated pieces cut with a crown in them or are you crowning the ribs in a curved caul. I know this was discussed some time back but hey I don't recall it. If they're laminated in a curve aren't they indeed more of a true arched rib (or arched beam) than a solid piece of spruce rib stock with a machine cut curve. In the rib glued in a curve the ribs the grain is indeed in an arch even if it was made thick enough to cut the bottom of the rib flat so as it had more material in the middle than on the ends. With a rib laminated in an arch config. it's also possible to have a rib of uniform dimension (if thats desireable). I don't know Phil F got me to thinking about that.
