: That works.

: I sometimes rip an 8" wide board into two 4" wide pieces, marking
: the grain to align it later.

: Then rip those pieces with two 2" deep cuts from each side on the table
: saw or on my small bandsaw which can only make a 4" cut. Plane or
: sand the pieces to 1/4" and glue the 4" wides into an 8"
: piece.

: Rob

Yeah, maybe that's what I'll do. I can cut solid pieces for the outside pieces of the lamination. for the center piece I can join/glue three pieces together to get a wide piece with the 90degree grain orientation, and those three pieces won't even be seen except for the edge?

cheers
