This sierra was stripped of its black cones and the cones replaced with buckeye cones. I tried some plain wood but had to go to Cactus Juice stabilized buckeye. I used buckeye because I have several short blanks I "juiced" awhile back. Nothing special about using buckeye. The finished cones get very THIN and I have several in various stages of destruction. Hence, the change to some stabilized wood. When I learn more about making these thin cones I'll probably change to a nice acrylic blank. Also, using a sierra vista may give thicker walls: not by much but a little thicker. I did not have a sierra vista to use. I know the cone above the clip is too large (diameter) but it is the more difficult one to make. The cone above the nib is also a bit too large (diameters). More later. Enjoy and give it a go....we have a long weekend coming.:biggrin: Comments always welcome.
