Dymondwood Scraps

[JimBobTucson]

I thought it was about time to put some of my Dymondwood scraps to use. So, on a basic Copper Cigar kit, I started out with a nice Curly Maple blanks, compliments of AS. I made two boloney cuts at 60 degrees and glued in some 1/4" strips of scrap Dymondwood. Very sharp tools are a must here. The blank is finished with my usual BLO/CA process. The Dymondwood certainly dresses up a normally boring blank.

Very attractive pen.
Always did like the way diamondwood took a shine. Nice job.

Nice job! I've never had very good luck with diamond wood, only tried it a couple times, though.

Great job. Excellent work of using scraps. All of my segmented pens are done with scraps. With the exception of one.

Nice looking pen. The diamond wood really dresses it up.

boloney cuts? What a great phrase! Is that a term of art that I don't know yet?

I love it!

I don't know if the term started out here or not, but it is a common term in the custom motorcycle world, describing a style of exhaust pipes. Some may call that "art"...

Looks like a part of my past life snuck out.

I like the way it dresses up the blank! I think I might need to get some of that and try it. []
