speaking of hubbard  harpsichords (almost),  hendrik, how was the 
pencil cedar to bend? I've salvaged eastern redcedar/ juniperus v. 
beams from the dump - flawless straightgrain and some of it 19 cm wide. 
Used in a passion play, the Jesus could carry a crucifix out of this 
wood under an arm. Say something about it please?
