Hi
Bearing in mind my being new to turning, my idea is to glue layers of blank together and then turn the bowl etc. to get the effects of bands of different colour woods and grains within a bowl....
No doubt this is not an original idea, but bearing in mind the stresses in the wood when turning, etc does it work? Is there a size upto which it would work but thereafter the glue would wave a white flag? What glue should I use and even how long should it cure for?
All this any other thoughts on the process would be appreciated, even if it is to tell me it won't work.
I would love to hear of experiences of others.
I have looked on interweb without any success, but then if it is known under a specific name, I havn't even managed to find that out.
