Not a bad technique. If it wasnt 8/4 I would try it. That wood doesnt bend even when i stand on it.

The boards were joined with the bow in the two pieces opposite and they cancelled each other's bow.
It worked to perfection. This was over 40 years ago. Today, I would use biscuits.
My bow was just a bit, but never less a bow.
