Fun looking stuff all around
Glam thread

Jeff- Makes sense thank you.

Wood Carver - Okay it sounded like you were gluing it stages which prevented snapping.

Max - haha burnt end grain maple is what I'm currently working with.

Yeah next time I will make sure to cut them the correct way.

So how do you cut the pieces for accents?

Grain running parallel with bow?
End grain gets glued to the endgrain of the next piece in the stack?

Those are killer, Jeff.  I love that look.

I don't think so or at least I haven't had much luck with that orientation.  Grain perpendicular to the bow seems to allow for tighter curves. However that means you'll always be seeing end grain for the patterned accent strips so that's a bit of a bummer.  I could be wrong though as this is just my little bit of experimentation.
