The whole planing through gluing took about a week. Most of the time was spent in drying. Thank goodness for big-a$$ pipe clamps. The boards had to be pulled some to get straightened out. There were no voids in the piece. The woodturner was amazed and delighted.
It took all the two of us had to load the block into the truck. We stored it upright in my foyer until turning day rolled around (about six weeks later). The block need to remain in a warm stable atmosphere so it wouldn't pull apart.
More tomorrow!
