Question for the guys that laminate stuff all the time. I fixing to do a
small half round table for the end of my hallway. I'm going to do it in
walnut to match the living room furniture. I need to make a half round
apron obviously laminated. How thick do you all resaw the pieces? Would/do
you do the whole apron in walnut or just the outside piece and use a
secondary wood for the rest? What type of glue to use, gorilla or brown
titebond? I've got the form made, hopefully that was the hardest part.
I've never done any laminating or bending before, and what I've googled up
really didn't answer what I wanted. Many thanks!


The important part is the radius.
If its a tight radius - 1/6" strips. Large radius - 1/8"
You can use bending luan for the core and only use the walnut on the visible
surfaces.
I used gorilla glue and plastic resin glue (urea formaldehyde) with great
success. Its all a question of speed. (If waterproofing is not an issue).
If you can glue it all up and clamp it in less than five-6 minutes, regular
titebond will work - 7-15 gorilla will do - GT 15min use plastic resin glue
or epoxy. No matter the choice - leave it clamped a minimum of 24 hours.
