Ah, I finally get it. The description in the post was a bit unclear. Reading the comments and looking at picture #3 and it finally makes sense.

In the article you wrote that ” I smoothed the surfaces as I normally do…”
What is it that you do to smooth the surfaces ?

By the way it’s a beautifully crafted article !

No waste at all. Band saw the cut on the two stacked wood pieces, exchange alternating light and dark pieces, glue together. Done

I don’t quite get it, looks like you would waste a lot of wood.

Steve:

Many thanks for this posting. I have often wondered how to “do this”. Now, thanks to you I’m going to give it a try.

I’m looking forward to seeing you and your staff at the WIA.

nice approach – thanks for posting. I wonder how the quality of the cut affects joint. Could you maybe post a close up of the bandsawn edge?

Hi, Mike,
No tool used other than band sawing the cut then gluing together. I’m certain any sanding or shaving would inevitably lose the match of the irregular line.

What tool did you use for the joint? Spindle sander? Spoke shave?
