Because if one stave is thicker than its neighbour, it won't bend as easily. It is something of a puzzle, because some of the staves already have a bit of a bend in them. So they behave a little different that those without a natural bend.<br /><br />In short I think that using straight grained stock that is uniform in density and thickness would have been an easier approach. <br />But since I haven't got access to that there wasn't much of a choice :-)<br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-11078563814065102592017-02-06T13:59:29.119-08:002017-02-06T13:59:29.119-08:00Cool project!

I wonder if you only need consistent thicknesses in the ring contact areas, and second Brian's jig or fixture idea.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17028867150859768771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-53519512374703704912017-02-06T07:24:57.634-08:002017-02-06T07:24:57.634-08:00Hi António

I prefer to drink my beer straight from the bottle, so making a beer mug would be a bit of a waste.<br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-31100976646066542862017-02-06T07:22:51.335-08:002017-02-06T07:22:51.335-08:00Hi Bill
