First Glue-Up (Panel Assembly)

What happens here

Apply a generous amount of wood glue to the edges of the angled walnut and accent wood strips. Alternate the wood types and orientations to create the desired pattern. Clamp the pieces together tightly using several bar clamps, ensuring even pressure across the entire panel. Use cauls (wooden blocks) to help keep the panel flat during clamping. Allow the glue to dry completely, ideally overnight.

Goal: Glue the angled wood strips into a solid panel.
