Also, I find the top and bottom rings much too thick for the design of the piece. A big disclaimer here: these are my free advice and are worth no more or less than what you paid for them.

Thank you for your comments. I agree with you on all accounts.
This was an experiment to see what could be done. So I used wood out of my scrap pile. At that time I did not have a reasonable way to cut thin strips or accurately re-saw.
Just to see if this was something I would like to do.

Well "IT IS!" So, I bought the accu-slice system. The accu-slice system is amazing. Best of all it is just as good as advertised.
I have been able to cut several 2ft x 2in strips about 0.006 in thick.

Reply #5 - Oct 14^th, 2019 at 7:15pm I have read about the Accu-slice. It has one major fault, it cost a lot of money. I would love to have one.
