I'm in the process of experimenting with different types of wood for a saddle, and maybe a nut... Red Henry's mandolin bridge site has really intrigued me on the use of different wood types.
Last time I did an ebony nut and saddle I did it on my 10" Craftsman table saw, a somewhat harrowing experience.
Harbor Freight sells an inexpensive Jarmac clone for $40. Has anyone used this or any other ideas?
Since it is going to be of limited use, I wouldn't mind a good hand saw-mitrebox-rip setup. I'm not sure how to accurately rip small pieces of hardwood. I figure someone has done binding and inlay and may have a suggestion.
Thanks for any info.
