The next step was to glue the strips to form panels for my table. Each panel has three pieces to it. Gluing and clamping was a process that required more on the thinking and prepping side before actually executing. Once the glue is applied you have just a few minutes to set it and clamp it in place before the glue will start to bond.
Here are my clamped pieces, drying:
We made a sandwich. Clamped from the top, bottom, and sides, to ensure a smooth glue-up.
And here they are, a day after, all dried and glued together!
It's hard to tell if it was a good glue job or not - the edges are quite uneven, and the dried glue is covering up the seams. Next step is to sand it down. After that we'll be able to see how well they are pieced together.
