I think you get what I meant I was not sure which way to say it, but the strings go from inside to outside or from closer to the crown of the arc to closer to the end of the arc. The goal of the compound radius is to have a straight edge flat on the fret board following a sting path

Ok, gotcha. I understand now. Thanks for the explanation.
