How to glue spliced venners?

[Elison]

Hi guys!

I was looking a thread a couple of posts below and have a question.  
I know how to do a spliced venner with a blanck, for example: glue two woods together and cut in a band saw. After this, pass some times in a drum sander until get a really thin strip.

But in my case, I already have some venners with 0.6mm and would like to join then to make a spliced limb. How can I make?     :confused:  

I tried once put a masking tape in one side and glue with titebond 3, but didn't work very well.      

Any sugestions?

thanks

I call them veneered veneer's
I took a piece of 3/4" plywood the same width as the veneers, put sides on it for my press (picture).
I mad 2 parallels (hard rock maple) about 1/4" thick.
Let us say that A veneer is canary and B is Cocobolo
In my press i put A in first, then my 1/4 Parallel, then A again glued with smooth-on.
Now I have a 1/4" veneer sandwich.
Glue up B and the other Parallel and B.
Now you can splice the two together and rip down the middle and thickness sand back down to veneer's. Your veneers will have hard rock maple on there belly, you can thickness sand them to .030 or .025 or what ever
I skipped alot, like, Plastic wrap, Flat surface for clamping, razor blade for scraping glue at the splice before thickness sanding, Parallel's with no snipe,after glue up thickness sand the veneer sides before ripping, and so on.
My Finished veneer's were .030 thick, guessing .015 back and .015 belly after thickness sanding
Think about it some and build them in you Head 1st.
Mine turned out really good.
Good luck

This is the press

First of all, Max, those are some of the nicest risers I have ever seen! Elison, I have spliced veneers as thin as .030 before by simply laying them on wax paper and putting super glue along the edge where your veneers will be spliced. Gently hold them together for a minute or so and then leave them alone till the glue drys. I then CAREFULLY sand the excess glue off with a block and 60 grit. Turn them over carefully, remove the wax paper and sand the other side. Handle them with extreme care until they are glued up on the limbs. It worked for me.

Here are a few I did that way.

nice job
You can get some very cool looking sheet veneers.

sheet veneers are usually not flat (real wavy) and have to be cut to width and can be very thin and brittle. Mine were .024
The veneers I did had phenolic, wood stripe and phenolic for the splice.
This way you can do any kind of splice you want.
