So I just labored over my first real cuben project (besides 5 little stuff sacks), and it was quite humbling. I thought by far the hardest part was getting the material square, oddly enough.
I do have a question — my seam, when I tension it, does this (first two pictures, the pucker)– any ideas why? I had everything taught and square, and thought I had it perfect. Perhaps because my tie-outs are slightly circular and do not pull perfectly on the center? Perhaps triangle ties outs would fix the problem here? Any and all input welcome. I exaggerated the pucker here intentionally, but no amount of tension on the ridge or the panels will get it to flatten out. 

Besides that, I think it turned out well. All bonded — cross grain backed with 3M 1/2 tape, then bonded over with black cube hybird. I will do a full post when I get this ridge line sorted. Weight right now with 1.0oz black cuben and WAY too much guyline is 12.2 oz.
