I used 5 layers of
1/16" Ash veneer to form the laminations. I spread the thickened epoxy glue,
wrapped the laminations in plastic wrap, and clamped, and clamped, and clamped ...
Even though there are many clamps, I used only enough pressure to get the laminations to conform to the shape of the form. Too much pressure could starve the glue joint and cause a weak bond.
