I make a lot of herrigbone, wheat etc. patterns. I make it up as a sheet like I would purflings,since i often use it as purflings. The easiest way to go involves a thickness sander and a belt sander. I glue up a long log (12 or so inches long) of stacked veneers at an angle. I then cut them to an appropriate thickness. Rather than try to glue them together and to the backing veneer at the same time, I recently discovered a trick that is one of my best one's yet. I use CA and kicker to join the pieces together to create a long piece of wheat. This ensures no gap at the point of contact. Then I use the belt sander to get a very nice flat surface and THEN glue (type II titbond), to a sheet of veneer. After that dries I send it through the thickness sander, get it to the appropriate thickness and glue on the other veneer. Done When doing herringbone with a reversal, like you find in rosettes, this method works so much better. You can really get things to line up very nicely without fearing that the glue will cause things to slip out of alignment. The CA joints do not present issues when bending as the two pieces of veneer on either side offer good support. Since I make up such long veneer logs there are only a couple of CA joints in there anyways. My good deed for the day:) aaron

But I’m wondering if this yield more purpling then I could ever use. Yes, it will. Especially if you use blue and red veneers for the stack. But yeah, the block method can make a crapload of purfling. You’re in it for the long haul though, so no matter, right? I’ve taken to using white glue for the task recently, my reasoning is it dries clear and also I don’t want a glue that’s too brittle because the purfling has to maintain some flexibility for being bent. But probably anything handy that doesn’t leave a glue line is good enough. If you’re committed to hide glue for everything else, then I’d stick with that.
