Yester, I sent you a PM on here. I can try what you want done or you can. I included step by step on how it should be done to make it work for a bottom dock like I assume you want for the curve.
I love USN's site. I don't get on it much anymore but my father is on it all the time. We go to the blade show every year in Atlanta and he is a custom maker. I dabble in it but I am a novice compared to his work.
