The forced hiatus keeps on going.

Still no tablesaw... but I got around all this with a pair of handsaw and a rethink of my workflow to involve the bandsaw and jointer. What is really getting in the way of woodworking now is that we have decided to get our tiny house on the market. So, instead of cutting mortices by hand, I ferry stuff into storage. The upside is that getting a workshop 2-3 bigger than I have now is a hard requirement for the new house.

So I tell myself as I walk by the pack of pimento burl veneer, hoping to get to it soon enough.

Designing a Heddle for a loom

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
