Great point Travis! But I have some lams in the works that need clear. I know a guy who will want that too...
Stay sharp, Kenny.

Hey Jon,   When building forms from that LVL material, you'll have much better luck keeping it straight using full 1.75" thickness rather than sanding it down to 1.5"  . the last one i built i just used a router on each side along the edge in a few spots to get it to 1.5" to center the lams. 

Edge banding the cut out is good too, as well as sealing it well. i use a Deft brush on lacquer, or Shellac. I buy it by the gallon pretty cheap and use it a lot for sealing all kinds of things....   Food for thought.    Kirk

Thanks, I usually run my forms 1.75 anyway, as I've always run 1.75 glass. I just like having plenty of material to work with if needed.

I was surprised out how reasonable it was. 6 footer was only $54. I would have spent alot more than that for cabinet grade ply.

Micheal, I picked it up at one of our local building supply companies. They keep these in stock and can cut them to length for you. These are more expensive at your big box stores.

Tossed a coin and made the decision for riser, going with some nice Claro Walnut between Bocote.  Accents are a 2 dot mosaic between Paduak and Sugar Maple.

Its Chechen and phenolic. The other side of the chechen is much better.

Will have some accents in there too,thinking maybe yellow and ?

What type of phenolic are you using in that riser?
