Well I thought I would try a build-a-long. Going to try for 50# @ 27" 52" n2n. This is a backing experament. I don't know what the abbreviation would be since I'm using a luonn (flooring under-layment) backing on Hickory. I reckon it would be LBH

The hickory is 3/4' and the luonn is 3/16" I've used TB11 on both pieces.

Then I wraped in stretch wrap

The next is wrapping the bands around the whole length

The last thing for today was to induce some reflex. I put the tips on a block of 2x2 and clamped the middle down. Then slit the stretch wrap to give some drying area between the bands

If time allows tomorrow I'll draw the pattern and maybe get it cut out.
