I am on WR Woodturning forum as well as Woodnet but first time post here. I have been bitten (hard) by the segmented bug and that is pretty much all I do now. I just finished this piece and have experienced some movement between rings. The problem seems to be only with the ebony accent rings. I am getting some small movement or raises in between the ebony and the maple. The ebony was bought from Edensaw (Seattle area) about a month ago. Dry bolts with no measurable moisture and wax sealed ends. I waited at least 4 days after final glueup to turn to allow the titebond II to dry but I am still getting what seems like a small ridge or raised area at the ebony seam. This is my 3rd or 4th time using ebony and it happened on the other pieces as well. Is this normal with ebony? Did the ebony absorb moisture from the glue and it is just taking more time to dry? I sealed with sanding sealer and probably 4-5 coats of waterlox. I will have to resand and refinish to get rid of the problems.
Thanks,
Tom
