Looking for some joint size .025 -.030 maple rings. Prather used to sale them now they don't. Yeah I know cut them yourself. Well the maples not working out the best and I've cut other wood as thin as .015 but this is not working out. So if you have some let me know. Thanks Bill

Hi bill
I use sheets of veneer and laser cut the trim rings ..
I take the sheets of veneers to the local trophy shop to be laser cut.

Do you need them for a specific project or are you looking for somewhere to buy them?

The flat sheet pieces are not as nice as the ones cut from tubes imo.

I wish the colored veneer ones came from tubes too.

Yes, as the color varies as you turn a dyed veneer ring due to the grain, compared to a dyed tube. The bare maple ring is about the only one that doesn't do that, as there is no dyed color.

I think some of the guys in the Mach 3 forum would know.

I don't know what size or power of the lasershe is using but I will ask her .
And we haven't seen how thick of wood it would cut .
She charged me 15 buck the first sheet, then she saved my order in her pc.
Now when I come in she charges me 2.50 per sheet of veneer.
I hope your local trophy shop female engraver is as nice as the one here .
She does a great job on everything ....
I didn't know how you guys were cutting your veneer trim rings ?
And I was to embarrassed to ask .
I tried allot of different things to cut veneer rings but had issues breaking the trim rings.

I guess I should be embarrassed but I really have problem with the trim rings warping
when I cut them on my lathe if I don't break them trying to part them off.

That's when I thought of the trophy shop with the laser engraver ..
