Sorry for the delay,I have been so busy with school that
I forgot to check the FWW website in more than a month.
So to answer your question about the curve,I used my 18" band saw with a 12" resaw capacity and finished it up with Disc
sander/polisher.I started with a 40 grid sandpaper and worked my way up to 320 grid.
I hope I answered your question.
I'm very impressed by your work and would like to know more about your design process.
