All right, I've done a bit of googling and found a few different
techniques for estimating how much crown to use. Now for the math
jocks. I'd like to have my cauls be of a constant radius, so I can use
the whole length or any portion thereof. If I want to have a 40"
length with a crown of 1/10" in the middle, I'm drawing an arc of what
radius? Thanks.2000.05 inches (166 feet 8.05 inches)

Oh. I'm gonna need a bigger trammel.

There are other methods to use. A trammel is great for a direct cut,
but there really are other ways to get this.

FWW had an article in there mag a couple of years ago called "Cutting
big curves"
