Thanks for sharing your procedure Todd. I'm not sure if you seen this before, but here is a link to Pegasus Guitar (Bob Gleason) showing his similar method of producing triangular kerfed linings. kerfed lining |

I make mine like Bob Gleason shows, only I use a single blade, and I plane the final facet on the linings like Cumpiano shows in his book; with a block plane against a straight edge. Like Todd, I find it is an excellent way to use up mahogany scraps... |

I made some once and it was fun but not a profitable thing in my case but I do admit , once you start the final stages it is fun to see the pile grow. THanks for sharing john |

Todd, Thanks for showing how you make your linings. It's not something everyone prefers to do, but I don't mind making my own. This is how I make my Triangular Linings. My photos arn't near as good as yours so please excuse. 1st I thickness plane the board to 5/8" and rip it into strips on the tablesaw. I run those through the planer to end up with final deminsions of 5/8" wide X 7/32" thick 
Next I place a table in the planer that has a slot cut in to accept the lining strip and hold it in the correct position. 
I then start running the strips through the planer to get the shape of the lining. 
After getting the strips to this point I start runnung them through the kerfing sled. 
I end up with kerfed linings that are clean on the side glue surface and the showing surfaces without having to clean them up any further. 
Anyhow, this is how I make them. And again, please excuse the poor quality photos. |

Todd, I have some WRC linings milled but haven't used any of them yet. To me they seem a little brittle for linings. I have been using harder woods like the mahogany, walnut, and have used maple cherry and black-gum. The wood in the photos is eastern red cedar or eastern juniper. I want to see if it will be suitable for linings.It seems to be a little stronger wood than WRC. The blade I use for this is a 10 T.P.I. Raker tooth. I tried the Skip and Hook tooth blades but the top of the kerf looked wavey. The finer tooth blades do a much better job for this. |
