In this photo you can see the rosewood off-cut from the sides, two white veneers and the middle veneer. The green veneer is for a Hauser, but for the Rodriguez brown or rosewood will be used.(I forgot to take these photos, that is why you see the green veneer..Oops) |
|
|
The veneers are clamped between two wooden scraps about 3 feet long. Face the gluing surface of the boards with clear packing tape, then rub them with some wax from a candle or parafin. |
|
|
Glue them up and use plenty of clamps. |

Cut .095" wide strips off the binding block. |

This is what they should look like. |
