: ...yes, there is a bit of the technical in the itch. But I have decided to
: use only three pieces to laminate from, and am thinking about extending
: the hollow at least eight inches into each blade.

With a three piece, you can extent the hollow of the center lamination almost to the end of the outside laminations. Due to the tapering, you can't hollow the outside laminations as far out. The result is a deep hollow in the loom and a reduced height hollow extending out into the blades. Thats what I did.
