How to make just one more board?

Blog entry by degoose posted 208 days ago 810 reads 34 times favorited 28 comments Add to Favorites Watch

To start I make a full size drawing of the board to see how it will look.

Make an endgrain blank in dark timber

Make an endgrain blank in light timber

Glue and clamp.
Plane or sand flat and level.
Join both blanks with double sided tape and mark out the curves and cut on the banksaw

Detach from tape and alternate light and dark.. insert a string of PH and SA glue and clamp.
Plane or sand flat and level and repeat the marking cutting , alternating the cut parts,stringing and glueing and clamping.

As you will have noticed you get two for one,.
Square up the board round the corners ease the edges and apply a finish.

Thanks for detailing your technique on this board, Larry. You make the process look pretty straight-forward.

It looks like there is an end to end seam running down through the middle of the finished product. It that true or just my imagination.

I also an guessing that this is all end grain showing, so the seam is not end to end but side to side.

Going to show my ignorance, but what is “a string of PH and SA”? That is the only part I did not follow. Thanks.

Karson in pics #1 and #2 You may be able to see the side by side laminations used to make the larger blanks.
Paul thanks for answering. I didn’t say what timber was in this blog ,,, was in the project posting,
Kevin Asking Questions is the only way to get Answers!! It is not really a stringing more of a lipping.. slices of timber banded along the join? Stringing is inlaid.. lipping is all the way through. Hope this makes sense.
This is a kind of a trademark of mine.

Thanks all for the comments. It was a busy day yesterday. Second project of the day is almost finished, will post tonight. And if time permits a quick blog with pics.
Max, looking forward to your post of your interpretation of “Just another board”,, and any others who would like to try one.
Stay safe
Larry

how do you cut the curves on the bandsaw, do you just go really slow, and eyeball it, or do you use a jig..?

i dont have a planner. if i just sand the tops and use double stick tape, do you think that’d work?

Eric,, speed is not the issue with a bandsaw,.. smooth is the way,, I mark the lines in pencil and cut along them.
I actually use a drum sander 16/32 inch.. By plane I meant hand plane like I would like to be able to do?
I am working to design an addition to my circle cutting jig to cut the arcs.,. Yes when that happens a blog will be forthcoming…
Al ..go for it ..look forward to seeing your interpretation.,
Matt,,,, like I always say what you give you get back… what you give me back is way more than what I share!!!!!!
