It all depends on how big your clamps are either way will work
but allot less adjusting of clamp size if you go ahead and curve the backs too
Plus it squares the force a little more to the face of the curve so less sliding around and such!

Well the good news is that I did not glue the thing together.  I can take it apart and cut the other curve. The bad news is; (all newbies read this!!!!!!!) I put wheels on the bottom of the bandsaw to make it easy to move. But I was holding the table part and broke it off.  Now thirty dollars later I have parts on the way. NEVER MOVE by holding table top!!!
