A indian blanket tutorial??

[avbill]

Good Morning,

Several months ago I thought I saw a tutorial for making an "Indian blanket" pen blanket.. I searched the library with no results. Does anyone or anyone point me to it?

thanks

It is not in the library. Jeff posted this a while back:

Dang...way to go finding that Keith! Indian blankets rock! They are considerably more difficult to do pen sized, but they are obviously do-able. Don't think I had my drum sander back then, Now I can go thinner and achieve better glue lines. The one Roy did is thicker than I like to do, but it is bloodwood. Bloodwood is oily and difficult to end grain glue together. The thinner you cut it, the joints snap super easy. Maple and walnut hold together much better and still look good.

I'm going to give this a try today... I'll post my results. Wish me luck!
