Variable crevice width

Postby William Bagwell » Wed Oct 12, 2011 8:09 am

With a twist naturally, would you expect otherwise from me :smile: This topic has come up a few times but mostly as a random "my wood warped" accident. The rare occasions where it was deliberate the crevices vary top to bottom.

What would be the negatives of having the front crevice (or possibly front two) vary left to right? Widest in the center and tapering down at each side. Back crevice or two would still be typical parallel crevices.

Oh, if anyone here was wondering what I have been up to lately. http://mysecondbathouse.com/martingourdmold.html

Keep me in mind if you need some "testing" done on your proto type gourds!

Will do! Can not compete with an injection or blow mold on production costs, but I can whip their fanny on tooling costs :grin:

Yesterday, I just got two Bo11s in the mail, wow, they are huge compared to the Bo9s :eek:
In my book, the Bos are the best gourd out there, your mileage may very. :wink:

I can imagine, there is a huge increase in cubic inches going from a 9" sphere (381 ci) to an 11" at 697 ci. Not quite double the volume but getting close. I need to go will open a thread on volume over on the PM forum.
