Make a start...

Today, as I make my way out to the workshop, ideas are flying around… having looked at the information on lamination design that Scott sent….wow… so many new thoughts are spinning through my head… I had an inkling as to how it was done… but now the technical part is explained…

So, to the shed…..rip, glue, crosscut, glue, crosscut at a different angle and glue again… then sand, sand, and sand some more…


These three boards were made using a design from WoodTurnerPro. [available for free download.]...Can't wait to see how this all works out….although I think I will stop at the second…. for the time being anyway…
NB… I did not make these boards… they are made by WoodTurnerPro… I use them as illustration only…

Dang Larry - will you marry me! (bring the cheese boards).

Seriously, those look really neat makes me want to run right out and start one. Of course, I still have all those other designs you've shared to work on. :)

First glue up...

Got stuck into ripping and gluing today…
Table Wood Rectangle Line Wood stain


These are actually for another project… but hey I did them today…
Musical instrument Wood Gas Engineering Machine


when this is dry I intend to make it to the second generation…
Larry,

I went out last night and grabbed the PDF on this project. After a bit of reading my eyes crossed a bit. I dont know how you do it man! Looking at glue up here I see exactaly what you did and how to get these results….just amazing.

Cutting for the second time...

Out of the clamps… and cut at 25 degrees… [through the centre of each chevron going down from left to right…] each other piece rotated end for end…


For those who can not picture this… there will be a video forthcoming.. by the end of the week I hope…


And now back in clamps for the day… out tomorrow and I will see if this goes to the third gen…

Stay tuned…
By the way… timbers used Queensland Maple and Purple Heart…

The third cut is the weirdest....



Squared off the top…. here is the third cut…Now rotate every other piece…


And line up the pieces…


A quick border… just a few offcuts to frame the design…


The piece on the right is cut parallel and moved over to the other end for the glue up… this make both ends fit the clamps better..


That was easy hey???

Step by step...

This post documents the step by step in creating a 2nd generation board..


Striped board… cut at 50 degrees.


Flip every second piece left to right…


After glueing up the chevron pattern… cut through each down facing [right to left] stripe… at the centre at 25 degrees…


Now flip every other piece end for end and glue up again…


Now cut to shape…


In this case the one on the right…

Larry,

Do you walk Sideways…

... on your hands…

... backwards…?

Yes, it ALL makes sense… and doesn't seem to be very hard to do…

BUT…

It sure does a number on ones Brain trying to follow & visualize results from step to step to step… etc.

I'm sure glad you are doing such a GREAT job of keeping it ALL together! LOL

Thank you very mcuh…

Like these huh….what I think would be really cool (on a 1st gen board) would be to come back after chevron glue up and ripin the white about 2" from the chevron on both sides and add in another thin strip of the purple then glue the ripped piceces back on…..

Same but different..

I love the way the antique pine shines…


Again not finished …. New Guinea Rosewood with Purple Heart and Antique Hoop Pine Chevrons…


and the one on the left is Silky Oak aka LaceWood with single stripes of Purple Heart…
You may also notice that I have altered the width of cuts… something a little different…

Cutting on the down angle..

Instead of cutting perpendicular to the down chevron L to R… I cut down almost parallel to the other chevron R to L..

This give a totally different pattern..
Brown Wood Rectangle Flooring Floor


As this was a test it will be rather small.. so it will have a frame around it.. tomorrow…

The variation turned out extra well. All LJ's must be tempted to have a go after seeing your boards. Great
looking pattern.
