Commander #65 "Lucky Dawg"

[Lucky Dawg]

This high tech approach to bowing a 4' piece of 3/8" mahogany about a half an inch isn't working. (It will cover my traveller install error.) 3 weeks or so on the rack, so to speak, achieved barely perceptible results. There is probably a better way. Maybe bowing it isn't even necessary. I just don't want it to curl up when only a portion of it is held down by the traveller base.

Kyle, The pros use steam to bend planks then attach them hot and wet . I tried this for some
thing else and if you use more weight and thouroughly soak the board before it will work or if you like I may be able to post some pics and dimensions of the factory piece the traveller mounts too because the center is about 3inches tall and each end is about 4 1/2 and you can just fill your goof holes
