How it was done:
Glued, weighted and pressed with just about everything available.
|
After the left end dried, did the same with loose middle ply fragments.
|
And then the right...
Hey – this clamping setup worked!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Left and right end shots show no fragments projecting
|
First varnish, thinned 50/50 with mineral spirits to get some penetration

Sliced each warp down the middle, trimmed the edges, glued and nailed
