Dear Everyone, Today I spoke with one of the most utterly respected bellymen, frequently published in the Journal and in a "position" to know PLENTY about old, pre - AMPICO Knabes...... Well, HE said, after examining these wide, fat, shallow ribs upon removal from old boards, that they ARE "rib-crowned"! And so, perhaps, also with my Ivers and Pond, and Packard ??? So much for the notion that these ribs are, by necessity, flat...... Peace, G P.S. I'm now wondering if the grain orientation on these ribs is such as to better lend themselves to elasticty. Just a "hunch". __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
