Little trick

(1/7) > >>

PEARL DRUMS:
As we know most lateral moves are difficult to get much movement and generally don't hold as we want them to. I fought this blank more than I should have and tried heating the limbs up twice. The tips are still 4" plus off center. They started about 8" off center. I remedied the situation by doing what these pics show. The wedge is about a 1/4" at the thickest point.

Wow. I never would have thought that would work.  That’s awesome.  I may have to give that a try.  I’ve got a wonky piece of wood that may be a candidate for this. 

PEARL DRUMS:
Dave, I drilled a hole at the end of the cut. Hoping it wouldn't go farther as I tapped the wedge in. I grabbed it in my vice just past the hole hoping it would also help. It worked great and didn't split out.

Will B:
Now that’s a really interesting trick!  Thanks for sharing Chris

Pat B:
Interesting, Pearlie. Let us know how it works out.
