I'm designing a Heddle for a loom for my wife. I would like to build the heddle with 1/16" veneer strips (1/4" wide). One option is to laminate three strips, one with a 1/4" gap in the middle to make the heddle's eye. The results is thus four blade per inch if we account for a 1/16" gap between the triad of strips. Here is a sketchup of the heddle:
 |
| Twelve inches of weaving space made of laminated veneer. This will work if I can find 1/16" veneer... |
The question is whether there such thing as 1/16" stock available anywhere.
This post is mainly so I can link the picture to a post on FineWoodWorking.com
