In Response To: Strip: bending 1st bow strip? *PIC* (Andrew T)

I don't know much about about strips, so take this with hefty dose of salt. But in the spirit of creating and continuing discussion, not to mention continuing my education...

The SoF solution seems to be to scarf/glue/whatever another piece of wood onto the gun'l to create a bow that's upswept more than can be created through the use of a single stringer/gun'l.

Is there any reason you can't use the same approach to add strips? As long as you can anchor the additional strips at one point (on one of the formers/stations, maybe), then add the strips as needed to complete the upsweep?
