My daughter has asked me to build a bookcase for her baby's nursery. She saw something on-line that she likes. It has a curved top. I think I will build the bookcase out of birch as it will be painted and I am thinking of laminating 3 1/4" pieces of birch plywood to do the curved top.
Here is my question. I know you have to build the lamination on a form with a tighter radius than you want to end up with as the wood with spring back a bit when you remove the clamps after gluing up the lamination. Is there some guidance people can give me on how to figure out that tighter radius??
TIA.
