Whoa
Hi there,
As I understand it, the taper is cut out of the side of the spar, not the front, so you cut a wedge out of each side. That way you won't be messing with two planes, or distorting the front's radius. And of course the aft face of the wedge is vertical, so only the forward portion of the mast bends back.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
