The process of cutting thin strips for laminations is a reductive one. As I don’t have a band saw, I’m using a table saw with a blade that is just shy of 1/8 thick. So for every 1/8″ thick strip I cut, I loose as much in sawdust.



I have just two more 2×3 boards to rip and I’ll have everything I need to glue up the bow and stern apron and stem.
