Mitered Edge Banding Made Easy

April 4, 2017 By Charlie Kocourek & filed under Furniture Making, Joinery, Skill Building.

Applying hardwood edge banding is a great way to finish the edges on a veneered piece. However, it can be difficult to get nice miter joints because the length of the edge banding pieces must be perfect and every angle must also be perfect. Here is a very easy way to get absolutely perfect miters.

Making Unique Wooden Floral Arrangements by Steam Bending Wood

Creative Steam Bending

August 23, 2011 By Jerry Seabaugh & filed under Furniture Making, Skill Building.
