Hi Dale Do you mean no... dont build one this way or do you mean no you can not achieve the same crown support ? Cheers RicB Ric My vote, a definite no, straight up. Dale What I was curious about and still havent gotten a straight up answer too, is whether or not a laminate board laminated over a curved caul with the grain all going in the same direction could achieve the same crown and crown support as a ribbed board with ribs going perpendicular to the grain. I.e. the strength of the laminant panel along the grain compared to the strength of the ribbed board along the ribs. Cheers RicB
