I glued it up yesterday in anticipation of not having to do Saturday yard work due to forecast rain all day. Mother Nature did not disappoint
Anyway, this is basswood with walnut and paduak accent strips. My first attempt at this type of glue-up. I was surprised how out of balance that 3/4 strip of paduak made this entire turn.
I stayed under 1k rpm which made it take a while, but hey, it's fun, right? Just a hobby for me anyway. Due to the humidity, the poly coats are taking forever to dry, so maybe by tomorrow afternoon I'll have pictures of the the finished product. This is with 3 coats of wipe-on poly. I'm guessing it will need at least 6 or 7.
