 * Wood Core Lamination **

This technique is highly used for the construction of skis. It is made with thin strips of laminated wood formed into the most desirable shape**.**

What laminated core helps to do is reduces irregularities in the wood such as notes and grains. The thinner the laminated wood the less irregularities there will be in the ski. This can improve the properties of the skis incredibly, increasing there strength and durability profoundly. One other advantage using lamination is that a variety of woods can be used.

Vertical lamination, a vertical lamination includes wood being vertically arranged in which the adhesive interface. (shown below)




 * First step in the process of laminating would is in short terms, ‘rip wood into strips’, before starting your wood must be chosen. Rip along the grain boundaries nto thing strips, this may be done using a table saw. For skis in particular the width of the ski base must be a couple of inches wider with the laminated wood.**


 * To continue the process of lamination, take the strips, clamp them together place into a vice firmly, with a generous quantity of high quality epoxy**



The adhesive must be left to dry for over 24 hours. There are other forms of lamination to construct the core of a ski including horizontal lamination, symmetrical lamination.
