I have recently done some posting about the Grizzly G0555 bandsaw I have recently purchased. I am nearly finished setting up my bandsaw. My first project will be to cut a curved headboard. I will glue up cherry into a blank 24" wide by 60" long. I will make my curve with a fairing stick. I'm wondering how to keep that big piece stable on the bandsaw table with is about 14" square. I thought I might rough cut the curve with a jigsaw so I don't have too much material to remove with the bandsaw. Do you have any advice for me about keeping the headboard stable as I cut close to the pencil line I will have drawn?
TIA.
