The big moment! Main glue-up of the Banding strip that will eventually be sliced up into bands! Here, we glue everything together! Get a long piece of waxed paper and place all of the parts ON it... o keep the glue off your bench. You will eventually be folding the waxed paper over the top to the front and clamps will be clamp the Bench top & sandwich together. I kept the sandwich close to bench edge for the clamps to easily reach. On a strip of Cherry, spread some glue, take small pieces of maple/Walnut, apply glue and firmly push them into place on top of the Cherry base. Keep glueing small pieces, adding more glue to the Cherry when needed, all the way to the end. Be sure the first piece is nice and square to the Cherry... Rub & push the remaining pieces together... all the way to the end. Then, spread more glue on top of the little pieces & place the other strip of Cherry on top to complete the sandwich. Fold over the waxed paper and start clampling starting at one end clamping to the bench... Be sure everything is nicely lined up, etc. Leave it overnight to dry REALLY GOOD.
