You better go out and buy a "how to" book. Kind of a big subject to cover. :winking:

Laminate?

A laminate is fine, we just need to know more.

I have laminated Koa (a fantastic wood native to Hawaii) using 2 "book matched" parts. Basically the laminate consists of two parts, with the seam or joint running down the center lengthwise. Completely invisible I might add.
Some woods are more suitable than others, but this is a legitimate application.
But a laminate consisting of multiple thin sheets, is something else entirely.
Some woods are better served in a bi-laminate such as Pernambuco and Gaboon Ebony, but I do not think that you were considering these species.
If you are considering a bi-laminate, then you came to the right place, but if you are considering a multiple layer laminate, I for one have not done this.
Elaborate on the question please. :winking:

By the way, do go out and buy the aforementioned book, your question might be answered very quickly. Money well spent.

Badshot .. Make sure TOTW has the part in stock ..THEN order ... I just got an orderf rom them I ordered 4 days ago .. so if they have it they are quick and nice folks too!

Be sure and check out their gunsmith book section .. there are several good books there including "Gunsmith of Grenville County", and "Recreating the American Longrifle" by Buchele ... both IMHO great reads packed full of info for the new builder! :thumbsup:
