  Thanks Del. I was still talking about edge gluing. I would not =
advocate joining two pieces end to end in a soundboard situation. Never =
crossed my mind.=20

Why not? I'm planning on doing it on a piano I'm remanufacturing for =
myself. It's been done quite successfully in the past. I'll not be using =
a finger joint, however. I haven't quite decided what to use.


  Has anyone ever tried gluing up 2 boards first, then adding one at a =
time until the desired panel size is achieved?=20
We glue up sub-panels that are less than 24" wide (so we can still run =
them through our thickness planer) and then glue up the final panel.

Once you get started you will undoubtedly come up with your own ideas. =
There is no one 'right' way to do this stuff. Just a bunch of acceptable =
to good ways.

Del
