That looks great John. Hey thanks for all your technical support; I'm learning a lot here. I'll probably try this one too. It sounds like you can pull it off with little or no clamping - which would be a big value add for me. What's the name of this stuff and where can I find it?

BTW I ripped my dark accent strips yesterday and have started laminating them to the tan wood. I'm keeping the tolerances tight and uniform this go-round. I also scaled the design up 2x. The diamonds will be about 1.5" top to bottom. I'm doing these strips cove and beadless so I can bookmatch them more easily.

Thanks Again,
Chip

: Hi Chip,

: I use superglue and accelator to quickly fasten wood together at times. In
: this picture you see, I glued this pattern into a square and then cut the
: triangles out of it and sanded with a disk table sander where I use to
: work. There are 32 glue joints with strips of both wallnut and ash
: starting out at a thickness of .032 and getting larger in opposit
: directions. If I had glued and clamped this, piece by piece with regular
: glue I would still be at it. But by using super glue and accelator I did
: it in one afternoon. I put thick superglue on one strip and sprayed the
: next strip with accelator and when you press them together you get an
: almost instant strong bond.
