well, slapped this puppy on the ole slab, and the spine is pretty much dead nuts straight. I was very surprised, I thought for sure I'd have more cold setting to do. The centerline is scribed, so pretty soon I'll start crowning the spine.
unfortunately, the edge is not centered- it's off kilter to one side. One solution would be to re bevel the side it's off to, and grind to the centerline. I'd lose about 1cm of width if I did this, which isn't a deal breaker, but it would fundamentally alter the purpose of this piece. After some conversation with my buddy, Matt, I'm going to try (again) to bring the edge to center. The technique I used before was inadequate, although it did alter things a little bit. This method is getting me closer to where I want to be, hopefully it brings everything into alignment.
