very cool, love your tutorials rick.
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
Thank you very much Pottz! Glad you liked it.
Another excellent write up!
I really like the wooden ribbons and they’d be a great addition to projects from time to time. My scroll saw sucks. I probably need to upgrade it. Thanks for the write up!!
Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
Thanks Steve and RyanGi !
Nice!
I suppose one could also just steam bend if the proper wood is used and the glue can take the heat. Maybe if they were even thinner, they could be bent without any heat.
Of course then they would be flopping around and eventually get lost.

Interesting!! Do you laminate the layers with the grain in different directions to overcome short grain? Another addition for you that I've tried a few times for my box corner splines, is to include a sheet of coloured paper in the laminate. It obviously gives a very fine line when cut. I keep thinking I should try more sheets of paper, either to give a slightly thicker fine line, or different coloured papers to give a different 'pattern'. I have friend who uses sheets of white paper when making his ukulele purfling strips.
mad great idea i would never have thought about. pen guys will laminate thin colored plastic in the same fashion.

Madburg.... no I laminate so the grain of both woods runs in same direction. That way if I have to touch up with a plane or sandpaper there's no issue. Interesting about the paper. I've known about that method but have never tried it.
Yeah Pottz...
Where is duckie? .... haven't seen him around for a while.

OOPS!
Consider this one posted with your chisel box. (I'm so ashamed!)
~~~~~~~~~
Very fancy!
Haven't though about using leaves, they can be flattened and are all unique. Really opens up a whole new dimension for decorations!

I'm thinking leaves are in danger everywhere! LOL!
All parts of the tree (at least those that aren't edible) should be considered fair game for slicing, dicing, and being turned into sawdust and assorted wood items!
From what I understand, leaves are not the same as sawdust. Sawdust is much higher in lignin and cellulose. However, leaves are a great source of organic matter. There's no reason they can't be used in crafts and woodworking provided they've been dried out properly.
