Bailey,

You really need no more than a barely detectable amount of camber – just enough to ensure that there is no convexity within the length of the joint. The swing method described in the post is a very sensitive way to judge this. It is simply a one-sided tolerance rather than an attempt to create a specific amount of camber. Stated another way, the barely detectable camber is there just to be sure that you do not have the opposite situation.

Remember too, that this assumes the wood is evenly at equilibrium moisture content.

Rob

I assume that in subsequent posts you’ll be speaking more about the amount of camber you use and how you create it. A few more strokes in the middle of the boards?

Great post.
