I need to make a couple of 1/4" solid cherry panels. I have never donethis
before because I usually buy plywood when I need 1/4" panels.
My panels are 18.5" wide by 14.5" long. I was planning on making 4 boards
per panel for the glue-up to get the required width.
Are there any tricks to getting a flat panel out of a 4 board glue-up for
1/4" panels? How should I apply clamping pressure and should I NOT glue
them up all at once?
What Barry said .... adding that it's nice if you can start with boards that
are a bit longer and wider than you need and after you're satisfied with
your panels, trim them to project dimensions.
In addition, and FWIW, I'd probably do two glue-up's for each panel (2
boards per). This gives you a better chance for flat panels with thinner
stock, IME.
Don't forget that if you start with over dimensioned stock, as above, you
will have ample chances to re-rip your joints on a table saw and start over
if you have less than desirable results the first time around.
This also holds true for thickness, as you can plane (hand or machine) to
final thickness, usually giving you better results than if you're locked
into a particular dimension.
