A bit off topic but yesterday was opening elk so I spent the day in a favorite place that didn't hold much elk this year but I always enjoy being there.

Thanks guys.   It's nice to be reminded.  It's easy to take things for granted.

I made these pattern sanding jigs  6/7 years ago and made a few veneers back then.
I decided to make some more.
Cocobolo and Bocote


Glue up tomorrow



those classic  S scarf joints are very popular in boat building. I have a few router jigs set up like that myself ive used for years.  I like your  mosaics in that joint.      Kirk

Thanks Kirk

I will finish up all the veneers tomorrow and I may glue up another board for more.

2 finished

Nice contrast and accent! How many veneers will you get from that glue up? You use a bandsaw to cut them?

I don't know yet, I think 14, with the kerf at .040 it adds up fast
I'm trying a new way of resawing and grinding.

4 machines
Edge sander--flatten the side of the billet to take out saw marks
band saw-- resaw to .045--- only 4 so far, going to try to go thinner .040/.038 tomorrow.
baby drum sander to .035-- 1 pass
hog sander to .030--1 pass--hog sander takes out the snipe.
I fiddled around with the pressure rollers the other day and made it better on the Baby Drum sander.
Keep doing those steps
