: Hi Doug,
: The lamination is to minimise any tendency to warping that a solid board
: might suffer. If you laminate the other way, as a stack or on a form to
: get the curve shape, you can alternate the grain for the same effect.

: With the piece on its side, the end would look a bit like this:
: |\\\\||////||\\\\||////| each vertical is the edge of a strip, the slashes
: the grain.

: Hope this makes sense,

So in my situation, the below drawing shows the grain on my walnut. Laminating the planks as shown may take care of the risk in warping?

Thanks!
