The curved ribs for the galley hatch have been puzzling me for a long time, but now that I need to start working on them I've decided to bite the bullet and laminate them. I'm alternating cherry and maple for a 5" wide laminate about 50" long, the idea being to rip individual ribs out on the bandsaw. I did the first three laminates and clamped them onto the form, then added three more onto it and reclamped it. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out; there are a few dry spots to fill, but overall it is quite stiff, plus laminates look amazing when finished.
