Further thought to your comment Ryan , how would we have executed getting those two pieces together not doing it his way.
Flatten how? By hand plane, powered hand plane? Or router sled.
I guess with those big boards, rip the pith out on table saw, then what do you do to joint it with hand plane ??? On edge ?? Or rely on table saw cut? Joint with a router or take chances trying to hold the board square edge up on a jointer bed?
Yeah I was kind of coming at it with the "everything's a nail (or is it?)" perspective. Clearly the CNC was easier to cut the initial profile for matching but was it as good of a choice for matching the two sides precisely? I'm not quite as convinced about that.. but it would be the obvious way to do it if you have a CNC machine
...Vaughn - I agree - Frank is more Engineer than craftsman. Speaking from personal experience, it is very difficult to transition from engineering to creative and artistic and finely detailed. I think in straight lines and symmetry. Curves, colors and textures are something I struggle with, but I am working on it.
LOL, I thought of you when I made that comment, because you're an engineer who HAS crossed over into artistic territory. I've seen enough photos of your work to recognize that.
