Olive wood Cigar with "Rope" knot

[Gary Beasley]

I figure it was about time to try the olive wood I had drying in the corner. I also wanted to spice it up with a knot figure so I got some of my colorply insert blanks out and glued up a knot, narrowly avoiding glueing my finger to the blank. I like the figure the olive wood provided and the colorply came through with flying 3d effect.

Nice work. Olivewood is always nice, The knot looks good with it.

Ok I'll probably feel dumb when I get the answer... But, what is a "colorply insert blank"? Love the effect on the knot! Nice Pen...

It's a 1/8th inch thick strip of colorply material I've made up for use in a Celtic knot done on my tablesaw. Colorply is a fairly expensive manmade from wood product from Brookside Veneers. I managed to get some of the last of this color pattern from them last year.
