RE: The Chrissy Present Build Along
Ok we are back in business I have the first set of lams in the oven for another 30 minutes or so then I can glue them up and hopefully have a limb
But first I had to tape up the glass then mark the center for cutting.
Once cut in 1/2 so I now have 4 pieces 36" long.
Then I carefully measured and drew the center line.
Next is the screw up oooppps I mean glue up

We have a little problem.
The first limb is done cut and shaped string grooves cut.
I took the tape off to find this.
The Leopardwood split while it was in the form and in the heat box[:@]
There is about a 1/8" gap in the Leopardwood that was not there when I put it in the heat box.
I dont have anymore Black Walnut either so I will redo the limbs in Shedura and Massaranduba Redwood.
I'll do my best to get it there before Christmas.
