So what dimensions of stock are you using now that you have it perfected? Particularly thickness of the 3 pieces? Are you stack cutting the 2 sides and then just inverting them before you cut out the perimeter?

Hey Mike, Just to make it simple all three pieces are about 1/4" thick and 2" wide
( it fits the tape) by however long you want 8-9 inches.
I'll cut 2" strips and cut them to length and mix or match woods when I need to make one. Just place your text on the outer pieces close and leave enough room to do some shaping.
I do most of the shaping with a one inch belt sander. From this point I don't worry about perfection. I prefer they look like they have been used for 100 years than newly produced.
May the wind at you back .....

It will sit on the coffee table for a couple of weeks/months - Until I finish the next one. Then it get relegated to the collection to await the next craft show. Or it may go to the art gallery for a few months.
