Couldn't find anything in past 4Spec discussions and have found very little factual information on the internet. Any advice would be appreciated. Sharing any specs would also be appreciated - rwj@jandjconsultants.com. Thanks!! George A.

Or about the super smooth forming process - extreme tolerances and so forth - such as was done on the Pulitzer Museum here? If the latter, I have an article talking about how it was done. George A.

I am curious if the Crystal Bridges Museum used a similar process. My email address is ronald-ray@sbcglobal.net George A.

I haven't been to Crystal Bridges yet, but my wife and I have it on the short "to do" list for the spring or summer. It's a nice weekend trip from here. George A.
