I just shaped a 5-0 mini simmons for my sons. I used a 6-8 RP blank and it came out alright. I’m now looking to shape a 5’8"x23x3 mini simmons. I don’t want to use the 6-8RP blank since it starts out 3" thick. I’m thinking about the 6-5A or 7-3 A blanks. I’m leaning towards the 7-3A since it has the width and thickness I need and since I will cut off over 1 1/2 feet the rocker shouldn’t be much of a problem. Has anyone shaped a mini simmons from the 7-3A or what have you used to get a finished thickness of 3"? Thanks
