Yup! You hit the nail on the head with that one. On the other hand,
two semicircular strips placed near each other might be able to have
the trough filled in with body putty (or spackle or Squadron White or
whatever) which would then better simulate a genuine parabolic concave
surface. A lot of work with uncertain results, but maybe it would come
close enough. After all, everything we do gets better and better until
it reaches "close enough". Here is the secret: Use the index finger
and no other. It is just the right radius. The thumb is for sucking.
Don't forget that the outermost points of the flutes are not circular
at all. They are shaped like a triangle's point only rounded on the
tips. Will it ever end? Easier to buy 'em from Kaslo whenever they
become available. Assuming, of course, that he does them correctly. At
least he has the knowledge and awareness. "S"miles...Ed L.
