I plan on joining 2 or 3 boards together with titebond 3 to achieve the
diameter I need. The total rough diameter will be about 4 inches. Can these
be safely turned and is the glue I am using ok?
Thanks in advance
Lee

properly applied and dried, that glue is stronger than the wood. Whether it
can be safely turned is more a question for the turner than for the glue

I have glued up 5 boards (3/4") and turned them for a table legs (total
of 6) and no problem and I was using yellow glue.

Hi Lee, In most cases it is quite safe but it all depends on the type
of wood you are using. A wood like maple can be glued up and turned
very safely but if your using an oily exotic wood you need to take
certain precautions. The joints should be fresh cut and then wiped
down with a solvent. It also helps to rough the surface with
sandpaper. Of course your joints need to be tight fitting. With most
woods the glue joint is stronger than the wood itself but this doesn't
hold true with some of the oily exotics. Bob

Simple answer would be yes..
Qualified with "if the glue joints are good (flush, complete contact, etc.) and
the lathe speed is safe...

If you want to talk to a guy that REALLY knows about gluing and turning, contact
"Turner Bob" or check out his web site:

Rosemary Wright laminates several 3" or 4" planks together and turns
them into large platters or discs that she then slices up to make her
pieces, you can find her work on www.rosemarywright.co.uk . Some of
her platters are rectangles that are cut from circular platter, some from
rectangular blanks. I know she uses a planer to get her surfaces flat
before gluing up with "Gorilla glue" and as far as I know she has not had
any of these large pieces come apart on the lathe. I am sure she would be
willing to advise you on how she does it.

Get fussy about the interface. There should be no gaps when the
boards are placed, not pushed, together. I can't comment on the type
of glue being used, as I have been using Elmer's wood glues for the
past 25 years with no failures (so why try another?).

Along that line, but not exactly, is a bowl from a SINGLE board, example

I called Franklin glues once (makers of Titebond) because I had some
questions. I asked about the eurathane glues (like Gorilla), They told
me about an experiment they did. They laminated up pieces of wood to
make base ball bats out of, using the titebond and the eurathane
glues. The eurathane glues delaminated under use every time. Use the
yellow glue, and make sure that your surfaces are as flat as possible.
A planer does a fairly good job, a drum sander does a better one.
Also, grain orientation is important. On a flat panel, you orient them
so the curves (growth rings) go up in one panel, and down in the next.
For this type of lamination, I orient so that they all face the same
way. This keeps the wood movement all in the same direction, and not
alternating which can create stress with humidity situations. Some say
not to do it this way, but I have had no problems, and it makes more
sence to me.

That is in-line with the tests FWW did this year, TiteBond was better
then any eruathane/erualane glue they tried
