Hiya All,
I'm getting ready to build a couple of hutches out of pine. I'm going
to be having to glue up panels for the sides. Is there a general
formula for how large your boards for glueing up can be? For
instance, let's say the panel is to be 18" wide. Is it acceptable to
use two 9" wide boards? 3-6" boards? etc.... Given the pine will
show (ie. no painting), I want to minimize grain changes etc and
gluing up two boards might be more beneficial for that. I've done a
number of glue-ups like this before, but I always used plans that have
told me how wide my boards should be for the panel. These do not.
Thanks very much for any help!!!!!
Cheers,
