So I am in my final stages of the rocking horse I’m making for my son. I have (2) 1.5” and (1) .75” hard maple boards I need to join together. What is the best way to accomplish this with the best results. My thoughts were to sand with 220 grit lightly before glue and clamping.
some thoughts/questions:
1) should I clean the wood with a solvent like paint thinner first?
2) Will the glue that is squeezed out when clamping stain the wood at the joints and be noticeable? Ways to prevent this?
3) money not being an issue what glue should he used?
any and all tips would be appreciated. Being a dad and working full time I don’t get much time in the shop. So this project is going on 3 months. Want to make sure the final step go smooth (as possible).
