Daryl,It's hard for me to say if 3/32" is too thick. This depends on how tight the bend actually is and how many lamination it will take to make the legs. I like to be able to bend a single lamination with my bare hands into place, if I can do that then I usually go ahead. Also, the more laminations the less spring back. Six lamination or more will make for pretty low spring back.You can use the NGR analine stain but only a small amount since it is in liquid form. Better to get the straight powdered type as there is no additional liquid to affect the setting of the glue.SincerelyDarryl Keil: I'm building a music stand made of curly redwood. I intend to make : the legs with some severe curves in them, so I figure I should make : them out of bent laminations (mostly curly redwood probably at about : 3/32" thick plys, and some maple, so after they are formed and : scraped, it will be two toned). My questions are:: 1. SO you have any experience with laminating such a wood? DO you : think 3/32" is too thick for curly redwood?: 2. Since I inted to use your Unibond glue (it did such a terrific job : on my torsion box shelves last year), and I need to color the glue to : match the redwood, can I use something like Behlen's NGR alcohol : based dye, or must I use something else? : Thank you.
