A Quartet of Dymondwood

[johnny5]

Here are 4 Zeta pens turned today using Dymondwood.
2 gun metal and 2 Rhodium

Friction polish and Renaissance wax finish
I prefer the top one

Personally prefer tiger wood over dymondwood as I find the colours more vibrant. Did you seal these with sanding sealer before the polish and if so did you use the liquid? The sealer in spray form will not darken the wood nearly as much and will retain the vibrancy better.

I like this wood myself Johnny, it certainly looks good when used on pens, as these clearly show ..

I didn't use sanding sealer before the polish
Did not realise that you had to

The one thing I don't like about diamond wood is, no matter how I try to drill the hole, the bit wanders so the hole the end is way off centre.

They are really nice especially bottom right, and very nicely presented to boot.

Great looking set of pens Johnny.

Beaut pens one and all four of them, they are mongrels to drill and turn but the reward is great mycarry pen for ever it seems would yield heaps of orders but I dont fancy being locked in to making them continually.
Few people believe they are composites of the same timber dyed and in layers.

The first one leaps out new to me.
