>Nothing wrong with laminating.In fact, because smaller pieces of wood are used, the likelihood of hidden defects in the wood is lower. As long as the glue joint is as strong or stronger than the wood, the finished piece will be the same.You should make sure that the glue you use is waterproof, so regular Tite-Bond- isn't the best idea. But Tite-Bond III should be okay for this application - it IS waterproof.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... 1#315851le, List Admin.________________________________________________________________________________
