On the left, a better view of the first portion of the fluting.  On the right, after setting the basic flutes, we clean them up (make the raise point more define) using a raising hammer.  In the future, I will probalby pay more attention to getting the flutes perfectly straight.   115-1575_IMG.JPG

On the left, you can see the portion where the fluting wandered just a bit.  On the right, you can notice the severity of the dishing. We actually kind *over* dished this peice (putting more curve side to side than we needed). 115-1577_IMG.JPG
