You don't really "need" a power lam as long as your fades continue out into the core wood a bit.

Wish I could help you, but my exp. with lams without glass has been not so good!

yeah I think I'll probably use the power lam method that way I think i can just add a little wood on the belly to make a handle and not have to worry about blending the fades into the core as long as I dont accidentally get some bend through the handle

I do not personally care to use titebond for an all wood lam glue-up as the working time is relatively short and I find it also messier when working with multiple lams.  I now just use URAC and will use titebond for small "spot" work.
