A while ago there was a thread on using four piece bookmatches.I did one in macassar ebony.As wood is getting harder to find in wider widths it's a realistic option.

Brad, I wouldn't have known it is a 4 piece back if you hadn't said so. It looks real nice. |

Brad, Nicely done, and I would never have known. How will you do the reinforcement strips? Jeff |

thats a great job...you would have to look real close to see that is a four piece. While on the subject, would you put a reinforcement strip on each joint on 4 piece backs? I am assuming so |

Brad, that looks great, What kind of glue did you use? I have 20 or so Madagascar RW sets that are done that way and I am not sure what type of glue was used to join them but whatever it is it is waterproof and very strong...maybe gorilla glue? |

Brad - like the others have said - if you had not said anything - I would have never known - |

In the past when I have done 4 pce. backs I did put a reinforcement strip on each joint, so I guess I'll do the same on this one. I used yellow (titebond) glue to join them, never have had any problems. I am interested in using hot hide glue but have not gotten the courage yet. |
