[Woodcarver] Laminates

[Bill Judt]

Bonnie:

For some direction in the laminating of larger panels, go to my  
article "Initial Camber" at:
http://wwwoodcarver.com/TipsTechniques/ReliefWCtechniquesPage.html

This article will describe how to stabilize your panel prior to carving.

Hope this helps,

Bill
