dsdesigns Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 I wasn't able to locate any threads related to this, but I was wondering if gluing several ten inch pieces together would be structurally sound on a neck-through build. The neck would look something like this | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | || | || | | || | || | | || | || | | || | || | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | || | || | | || | || | | || | || | | || | || | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Half of me thinks that glue is stronger than wood so it wouldn't detract from stability but the other half of me says it will be weaker. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall8 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Negatory. An end grain joint like that wont hold for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripthorn Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 If you overlap the joints like what is done with bowling alleys and the like, you can do it, but I don't know how it would work with stability or longevity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonx Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 If each piece overlapped, like bricks in a building, you'd need minimum three or four layers I reckon, so yeah, sure, you could, it'd possibly work, I'm sure it'd possably last if you have excellent joinery skills - but why?
