I am about to start making a rather detailed U shaped kitchen benchtop using Crows Ash.
I will be posting regular updates over the next few weeks as it progresses.
As Crows Ash is so greasy (much like Burmese Teak) I'm wondering if anyone here has glued up large quantities of it as I need to ensure good adhesion? I am planning on using Techniglue epoxy as it is the best glue I know. What do you think?
A few details;
- I am recycling the timber from old beams, so it's dry. it's be lying in a dry shed (locally) for two years as well. Still greasy though.
- the beams are 170 x 70 x 4m . I plan on resawing them down the guts to end up with 170 x 30 and then laminating them together and then to a 25mm plywood substrate ( I don't have enough timber to do it any other way). The seen edges will be solid 55mm finished thickness and custom profiled.
- I plan on bickie joining all joins.
- the U shape is approx 3.5 x 3.6 x 1.8
- it will have 100mm coved splash back.
