Ok, so i have my bamboo to close to an 1/8 thickness and the ipe is very close to 1/2 inch. Only thing i need to do is glue up after getting the bamboo to even thickness. The guy who helped me get the thickness thought it was so thin already that he didn't want to try to take anymore off. But hes been very helpful because hes got a huge belt sander and a big bandsaw, made everything easier lol. Ill show pics sometime today. I plan on glue up today. My only concern is this. The bandsaw left marks on the ipe. We did a lot of sanding to get it to a nice almost smooth surface, but there are a few points where the sawblade made the marks that are still there, i would imagine this wont be an issue if i use epoxy right? if most of the surface is flat would tb2 or 3 work or would those tiny "gaps" effect the glue up?
