What is this lamination?

[Phillip Kelley]

I picked this laminated block up at a show in Waco. What is it and where is a source for more?

I think I saw that blank on PSI. Look under the blank tab then the bottle stopper blank box. How this helps

PSI sells something like that they call it Color Grain. Woodcraft also sells something similar that but I'm not sure what they call it .

looks like a piece of dymonwood to me. available in many color patterns.

Fancy (ie, expensive) plywood sold to wood turners. The individual layers are dyed different colors, and the grain of the layers all run in the same direction (unlike regular plywood where the grain on alternate layers are at 90deg to each other for strength). The glue holding it together is a bit tough on tools - ordinary tools require more frequent sharpening, but carbide works well.

Trade names include Dymondwood, Colorwood, Color Grain, etc. All of the major turning supply houses carry it, and you usually see it at turning shows.

Louie has it on the money. It's available in big chunks for gunstocks. If you know a custom gunsmith, you can hit them up for cut-offs.

I don't know for sure, but it looks more like a piece of Spectraply called royal Jacaranda....

You can usually see their selection of laminates at: http://www.cousineauwoodproducts.com/

However, when I checked on it, the site is down for maintenance and will re-launch in 2014.

Spectraply -- made in Maine Good Stuff but is spendy

WoodnWhimsies has some as well. They used to have a lot of different ones when I bought a bunch once about 5+ years ago.
