[QUOTE="tinkerer, post: 1102038, member: 50973"] I did exactly this with some cocobolo for one of my Strikers. I glued up 5 pieces of 1" wide cocobolo after getting the mother board planed flat and smooth. Now cocobolo is a oily wood, so I cleaned each piece with fingernail polish remover prior to glue up with 2 ton epoxy. Laid the 1st board flat on the concrete on a piece of wax paper to prevent gluing it down forever, added glue and smeared it all over before adding the next piece. When I had all 5 together, I added a piece of wax paper and 100# bag of sand for uniform pressure. Waited 24 hours and planed off the top for a flat surface to start. Inletted for the barreled action before starting on shaping. Made a beautiful red streaked 5" wide bench stock. And heavy, too. Joel is the real expert, and his words real true. Know your wood, moisture content and glue thoroughly. And get a good variable speed router and carbide bits. And take your time. Larry Tinkerer [/QUOTE]
