Re: Inside a Pietro Ruffini
Great photos, John, thanks! I look forward to seeing more of the process. The top down shot of the braces is great. It gives a very graphic indication of the just how 'arched' these tops were.
Of interest to an ongoing conversation about constructing/slicing/joining halves of canted tops is your shot of the Ruffini top. Hard to tell from this angle, but it looks as if the grain run straight on one side of the seam and is tapered (as reflecting a cut on the other.) How does it look from where you are?
