Tongue & Groove 3/4" - 37

This functional 3/4" - 37 tongue & groove octagon measures .750" in thickness; widths are manufactured to any desired size within the machinery parameters used to mill the pattern. The cutters can mill a sixty-seven and one-half degree angle with a slanting tongue and groove on each side of a board measuring 3/4" thickness. After machining, these will create an octagonal-shaped column by joining eight pieces of lumber together. We purposely left a few thousandths of an inch void in the joining area for glue to escape from during fabrication. We have successfully used Scotch or 3M # 355 tape for tight joints and easy assembly. This tape does not stretch, which will ensure the joint does not move while drying after the drying process has been completed, use a small amount of solvent to dissolve the glue on the tape; you don't want the tape to raise the grain of the lumber, you can create some of the finest looking octagonal-shaped columns or newel post in the woodworking industry with this design.
