re: Need construction ideas

Thanks you all for the replies.

Now you got me scared (:-

Edging like this picture I understand:

But I think it would have to be edging this way:

That will show a lot of cut lines. I am not delicate when I work.

I have the feeling I am going to have to learn veneering. Even if I do that it will take years to get any experience.

Cutting a large ply “ring” and applying it on the edge is workable but I will have to recess it between the top most layer and the bottom one to hide the ply ring edge since it is not solid wood….

That brings more issues:
1- the big body lamination will have to be flush trimmed with a hand held router. That will mean I would loose any recess I may have created during lamination.
2- Because of the taper it will be hard for me to recreate that recess. I think it’s doable if I make some nice jig to guide the router.
