Technique: Simple Lay Up Gives Depth

This TECHNIQUE gives lots of DEPTH
(and it should be left in TECHNIQUES and not moved to photos)

Re: Simple lay up gives depth

The photo didn't post.

This simple lay up gives much depth to this piece. There will forever be a space between the top and bottom layers. The orange pieces will forever cast a shadow on the stringers below.
