Lately, I been trying to up my game, and turn out prettier, nicer, more accurate stuff.
So, I was just reading the excellent thread about squares, and recall that in making some jigs and such around the shop, that I have been laminating two pieces together lengthwise to protect against warpage. You know, w the grain opposing any tendency to warp.
I look at some of those beautiful shop made squares, and think......don't they move a little (notice I'm not asking if it matters).
QS stuff is great when you have it-if it is straight grained.....QS is the most safe against warpage, right?
What species/cut do you all use in those 2 and 3 foot thin boards?
Does anyone else laminate shop made stuff?
Thanks guys, David
