Really nice piece, Don. The form is second to none, and the laminate fix is interesting.

Thank you. I have been searching for a solution to fixing the faults in wood that didn't involve alien substances like resins so the real test will be how it holds up to the dry inside conditions of a Minnesota winter, then the following humid summer season.

The cross grain might be an issue Don. If this “plug” got resawn and glued back together with a slight twist, that lamination might be more successful. I think your keeper ring is more designed for success with the angled grains. I’d love to hear about the results!

The plug is made up of 5 layers and each layer is rotated 45 degrees from the previous one thus all joints are lapped so it is similar to ring segmented construction.
