Re: Deer antler

Eric
The angled lamination is not my thing these days but I have done it for a
cutting board or two. For an example, consider two types of wood, say maple
and walnut. Assume you want a 3" square blank and your wood is 1/2" thick.
Cut strips the thickness of the desired blanks, 3", and glue them up in
alternating bands, m-w-m-w-m-w. 6 strips at 1/2" give a 3" square. Cut a
diagonal from the upper right corner of strip #3 to the bottom right corner
of strip 1. Take this triangle and glue it without rotation to the right of
the original glue-up. Square up top and bottom and you have a diagonal lined
square. I hope this is not too confusing. If you draw it out it helps. You
get some neat patterns by using more kinds of woods and arbitrarily deciding
on the top and bottom points of the diagonal cut.
