Maple/Olive/Hickory EG-CB for my Father In Law

Cool! Good job.

Good looking board

Thanks guys, it’s a way for me to pay back my Dad-in-law for all the amazing Italian food he makes when we visit… I’m Irish, but my stomach and taste buds think I’m Italian.

Very nice! Did you have any trouble gluing up the olive wood? I’ve only ever used it for turning, but it has such an oily/waxy feel to it I wasn’t sure if it would glue properly.

Blahg,

I approached this with two mindsets:

1. Olivewood doesn’t actually have a massive amount of oil in it as one would think; there is some but generally not enough I find to impede the strengths of modern glues – I used Tite Bond III.

2. To error on the side of caution… and to somewhat contradict what I spouted off about in line item 1, I used a small amount of Acetone before I glued this puppy up.

Either way… it came out rock solid.

Thank you for mentioning this though as I should have detailed that for other viewers in my main writeup.

Have a great day!
