what a waste

lenten season...keeping myself busy by making snare shells. i bought veneers last saturday enough to make 4 shells. i got walnut, crown cherry and maple. cherry is so expensive that i decided to just use 2 outer and 2 inner plies of it and walnut while maintaining a maple core.



well i was running out of glue when i started this shell. the fifth ply did not bond well because of lack of glue that's why wrinkles and air pockets appeared on the layer.

it sucks. what a waste. the walnut grain looks great and it pains me that it will never be used again
