    Interesting stuff here. I’m interested to see what follows from this. I use deflection and resonance but only once I’ve got my plate in the carving state. What is the ultimate goal of getting this information in the billet stage? Do you anticipate being able to pre-determine arch height/graduations/thicknesses based on properties of the wood in billet form?
