A lot of my rough already has cut faces that I want to follow. So far, for larger rough, I’ve been trying to veeery carefully align the cut to the blade while clamping, then make the first cut a bit thicker than I want just in case. Smaller pieces have been getting set aside for gluing, eventually.
I’ve been scared to glue up this guy because I am worried about gumming up or damaging the vugs too much. Am I just being paranoid? Is there something other than board glue that I should do for vuggy rocks? How to remove any leftover glue? I have various solvents around but no clue what’s safe for rocks. The largest face is the one I want slabs of the most.
Was planning to use titebond original (red, interior) to make it easier to remove later, but also have titebond 2 (blue, indoor/outdoor) if that’s a better option. Saw is running on mineral oil.
and last question, since I am terrified to experiment with it myself… any clue what my weight or overhang limit on the board gluing is? I primarily have untreated 2x4 scraps and tons of salvaged pressure treated woods, but willing to buy wood or attack my log pile (oaks and maples 80+ yr old) if the wood grain is the deciding factor.
