Tmize Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 That’s a combination you don’t see much but I like it. It should be used more often 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good looking enough to leave out on the counter but not so dainty where it’s “ too pretty to use”! Kev, what’s the size of this one?

Although I never care if I hit those numbers exactly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 What’s your usual thickness if you have a choice? I realize this one was using what you had at hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always start with 8/4 and keep them as thick as possible but, flat. What ever that number ends up being is what the board ends up being. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have watched a ton of board videos and am disappointed with a lot of them how the joints don’t perfectly line up. Having built a few I know how challenging it can be, great job! Very impressive workmanship 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very impressive workmanship Not really a trick... I clamped a straight edge to the assembly table for the final glue up. I then pushed all the pieces to that edge as I slowly clamped them up. This goes a long way to keeping things lined up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
