Let me see if I understand. You are laminating 1/32 wood and forming
it over a form and letting it dry to shape (airfoil shaped). You then
go back and slice off thin sections of this pre-curved laminate blank
from what would be the top. Is that correct? In other words, you use
a flexible straight edge and slice the ribs while the pre-curved wood
is still on the form?
Sounds interesting.
Thanks,
Scotty
