Me too, stic. If cutting to length it's the Bowyers secret weapon. Hacksaw!!!!

Ah so that's why you guys bows are wavy on the sides?

Box cutter works too, on the length I just use scissors...

GETTING BACK ON THE SUBJECT

Those veneers look like quilted maple kenny?

Don't think so, Mark, they were more reddish before I cleaned em up in sander. Maple is more of a tan to me when oxidized ?

Hope they aren't too light for the riser but I'm goin with them.

It's gonna look good

Sawed the riser out while scarf gluing...

This is what the scarf joint should look like when done. I mark center of all lams on edge to line up with center Mark on form

Gonna be a pretty riser.

Ya gonna put an accent stripe between them?

I can't git a scarf joint like that on my 6" x 80" belt sander, I need to get a small disk sander with the sanding disk GLUED to it should do a great job.

I new I could learn somepen from you

This old beast uses a psa disc but the table is way better than most new ones for staying square to disc

I do them on a Rigid oscillator and find it very difficult to get good scarf joints. :(

kennym · « **Reply #53 on:** October 25, 2020, 03:21:02 PM »

They can be a pain for sure , I just take my time and go with the flow...

This bad boy makes good scarf sander.

kennym · « **Reply #56 on:** October 26, 2020, 11:25:20 AM »

Mike, what kind is that, and how is the table for sturdy and staying square?

Thanks,
kenny

Had some .050 glass that looked like the sanded side just hadn’t cleaned up when they made it, so sanded to .040 ,,,

Got it taped and center marked, also mark center on edge so I can see it during glue up.

Then a prob , while test fitting riser I found a bad grain in it...
