Hi all, anyone might think I have a fetish for Dymondwood.... I managed to get a nice few blanks here, just need to sharpen my tools.. LolIMG_20200912_164247.jpg
Most of these are bullet hard Dymondwood some are just straight and a couple of Spectraply blanks(a little bigger and a little softer) these should be nice and colourful :ciggrin::ciggrin:

I find the best cutting for these are the the square (2 degrees) four faced tough steel cutters.Yes they splinter and I have a couple of blocks as they came off production,the ones I have are all dyed layers of the same timber,it is the glue that creates the difficulty in turning.
