: I used bits and pieces of cedar and scarphed them together using Titebond
: III. If you don't have enough clamps, you can cut strips of inner tube and
: wrap it up. I used a firehose with the ends clamped off and a tire valve
: attached to it, which I then pumped up with air. (Worked great!) The
: result was a good solid 2x5, but it was bowed. So I screwed it to a 6'
: piece of plywood I had laying around and ran it through the table saw to
: square up one side. Took it off the plywood, and ran it through again to
: square up the other side. The laminations do not run perfect but it does
: what I want it to do.

If the bend is constant and symetrical it's not really a problem. Many GP's were asymetrical.
