Default Bowed lumber

Not really a good idea Tony. You have no idea - and no control over which
of the two is exerting more force in the curve, so rather quickly you

could
find yourself with a crooked laminate. As well, while glued joints are
strong you really don't want to introduce stresses like that into a glue

up.
You'd be far better off to rip a straight edge on each of the two pieces

and
glue that edge up. After that you could rip the whole thing again to true
up the two outer edges.


Yea, that's what I figured. Thanks for saving me the experiment.
