Making a Solid Circle From Three Pieces

Start and finish the final lamination at the spot where you drilled two holes side-by-side: this gives you the option of using two clamps to finish the operation.

Dry bending this laminated apron is easier than it looks. For many outdoor uses, the author recommends using waterproof polyurethane glue spread liberally on all relevant surfaces. If the stock is especially dry, dampen the surfaces first, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Sight along the lamination stock to see if it has a natural bend in either direction, and, take advantage of this tendency, if it does when bending it to shape.

To evenly spread the clamping pressure across the entire width of each lamination, the author used scraps of pine hot-melt glued to the clamp faces to serve as clamping cauls.
