  • Musical instruments have been made far longer than there have been power tools. Methods of cutting veneer with hand saws are documented from hundreds of years. Roubo on Marquetry covers it well enough for your purposes I think. DM me and I’ll send you a .pdf.

    Where in the world are you located? I have material in yellow cedar- a tone wood very similar to spruce- in pieces 6" wide x thick veneer to 3/8" thick, very tight vertical grain that I can supply you with at an attractive price.

    It looks like you’re in Europe so shipping may be prohibitive. I’m in the USA.











  • There are 3 ways to improve the cut on a smoother. 1 close the mouth 2 increase the cutting angle 3 adjust the chipbreaker close.

    None of them are magic bullets, and for the most part you have to use one of them. Sometimes you can use mostly one and a little bit of another, but if you max out all 3 you’ll have a badly choking mouth.
