multi colored flare in riser?

[scottm]

Any tips or tricks to adding a different wood in the "flare" (i guess thats the term) on a riser.Thought there may be a trick to getting it to fit.Ive thought about trying to stack the two blocks together and cut them at the same time.But thats three inches of wood and im not sure if the bandsaw blade will walk all over the place or not.Thanks, scott

You can sand the outside curves pretty smooth and nice radius easily on disc sander.  Then sand the inside curves to fit. Make sure all sanders are square with table....

And if you use dark accent strips , the glue line don't show up as much!  :D

Scott, I think spot glueing 2 blocks together and cutting a swoop in them is called "the Bonner method"??  here's a picture of my jig..it work good but is a little too big, I have plans to make another one.

You may try the first one without any jig.I have drawn my line on block of wood with a sharpie fine point.this leaves about a 1/16" black line.Go to bandsaw and cut super slow down middle of line.some times you almost dont need to sand cut surfaces. I have done this with diff woods you need a solid patern to draw lines.
