The most generous @mark james sent me a box of segmenting materials recently including enough Spectraply for me to play around with.
This is some of what I was experimenting with, though I found that, because there is a lot of 'end grain', it is even worse to turn than Palm.
Liberal application of CA required. Using the flap disc method was a wee bit better.
Anyway, my wife likes the progress, though I'm not so sure.....I think that they are a bit OTT. I think that they need to be carefully placed in a pen, maybe in an oval window type.
The completed blanks are not accurate and won't be turned.
ALL comments will be valued.
Thanks for looking.![IMG_0503.JPG IMG_0503.JPG](https://www.penturners.org/data/attachments/329/329359-ccf934d89c87993e0507dacdff2e465a.jpg)
