Thread: Three little pigs.

Quality as usual Jim. Where do you source that style of banding.

Cheers John

John, you can get veneer bandings from "Goods and Chattels", in Brisbane or have a look here https://www.veneerinlay.com.au/

Jim,

Nice pieces, I like the little swirl on the middle one. Do you cut a recess for the commercial banding, or glue it on the surface? I have no clue as to how thick it is.

I have been collecting plywood off cuts from a CNC sign router down the street. They are 7 layer 3/4 inch thick. I plan on gluing enough layers to make a bowl blank. What glue would you suggest. I'm in the USA so type rather than brand name would be helpful.

Thanks.

Jim, the banding gives them a classic look. I like it.

How do you go where the 2 ends of the band meet, does it line up or you need to fiddle a bit.

We are talking about a man who cuts trees into tiny pieces & then glues them back together in different shapes.

Paul, the commercially made veneer banding is generally about 0.6mm thick, (about 1/32"). I make my own bandings now and usually go for 1mm. The banding is set into a shallow groove cut with a parting tool.
I would suggest you use Titebond 2.

I fiddle a bit, some would say too much. ) Don't be rude!!!!! ) How much "fiddling" depends on the banding pattern. Often I need to cut the groove a bit deeper to get the pattern to match. Must be careful to leave enought wall thickness to cope with that.

Jim

Hi jim, very nice, the bands certainly lift them to another level
Well done

Or else the banding ends up on the inside of the bowl.

Very nice work as always.

For me the first one really stands out as the banding seems to match the bowl perfectly.
