Here’s the video of the first stage of gluing up the curved side. In this stage the marquetry is not glued to the cabinet. It is laminated into a custom curved piece of plywood with two thin poplar veneers. This will be removed, trimmed and then glued to the cabinet in stage two. This will help stabilize the marquetry against forces in the cabinet and will facilitate accurate placement.

Watching this makes me want to start using my clamps again! Always the stressful part of gluing up a Marquetry panel making sure you’ve got it just right. Looking good Paul!!

I have a question about old brown glue. Was your bottle heated up or room temp.
Interesting work.

It was at HHG temperature, 140 F. OBG is a gel at room temperature. It doesn’t need to be that hot but I wanted good penetration and the shop wasn’t very warm.
