wow! Amazing work.... I've never seen detail like this go into a build. How many hours do you have into this project?

awesome build looking forward to the conclusion to this one!

Curious what you're using to sand your lams/feature strips.

Nyarrow there is probably about 16hr of glue time. There is about another 10hr so far in the riser.

Here are a couple new pics. I had planned to have this build finish by now. Something came up and had to put it on the back burner for awhile.

The core is red elm with Claro walnut wedges.

Curly Koa veneers.

Thanks Shawn.

I use a sled to taper my wedges. Once I sand the wedge to thickness it gets tapered.

BrushWolf · « **Reply #95 on:** October 27, 2013, 10:50:00 PM »

The power wedge.

The wedge.

The wedge and power wedge put together.

I am going to shoot for about 58# on this one. The red elm core is all ground. I will try and post some more pics in the next few days.

Cool your spacer to taper the wedges/get a slope looks same as mine :D
(But my riser don`t look the same unfortunatly....)

Pheonixarcher · « **Reply #98 on:** October 29, 2013, 04:36:00 AM »

That is some truly outstanding work! Good job and thanks for taking us along. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished project.
