That’s a good idea Brian.
I did cut the ribs already.
I cut very close to the line on the bandsaw and then I took it nice and easy especially in that area. Very little pressure on the bearing.
Overall they all came out fine. I am sure toward the last few pieces there are some small irregularities but I am not too concerned about them since they will be covered with 2 layers of plywood before I ay the veneer.
