Did the microwave help?

Thanks, Trevor and John! I think I will give it a go. I have a lot lying around from other projects and the sizes are suitable for making braces and not much else. As this will be my first falcate build I think I will build a bit oversized to play it safe.

Thanks for the awesome book!

Trevor, what are your thoughts on Red Cedar (Toona ciliata) for Falcate bracing? I've used some for linings and it bends easily; very light, too. Though it's not quite as stiff as spruce I reckon the epoxy lamination makes up for this. Any suggestions?
