Stem Facing


To create the laminations I used by table saw to split ¾ inch boards into three parts. These needed planning down by hand to remove variations created by cuts made from both sides of the boards. This was not my preferred method of creating the laminations but I had to work to the limitations of the tools at hand.

Ideally I would have split the boards down the center on the table saw and then brought them down to size with a thicknesser.

As you can see the gluing up of the stem facing is not a task you want to attack without a good supply of clamps.
