I am building a cedar fence. Each section is 6 feet high and 7 feet long, 3/4 of an inch thick. I am going to cut a curve (called a scallop?) at the top of each section, dipping down about 5 inches in the middle of the section. To give the top a more finished look, I want to attach a 1x2. I plan to cut a 3/4 inch wide groove in the center of the 1x2 so it will fit snuggly. This piece will have to fit the curve. The question is, do I have to do something special to bend the top piece, or can I simply force it into the curve? I plan to use some kind of glue/epoxy to fasten it.
Thanks!
