So you think it looks awful too, Woody ain't sure himself but being the star he is he will have a go at it.

AM I WRONG?

MAKE IT GO AWAY DAD

Looking forward to seeing what it looks like when it's turned woody.

 

[PhillH]

After turning some of your military ply Brian this stuff should be a doddle

 

[Doug]

I turned some pens from ply like this years ago, I didn't really like the effect but they disappeared quick enough so someone must have liked them.

 

[Woody]

Brian kindly gave me some military ply from Afghanistan with which I made some pens and sold them to raise funds for H4H and it was as tough as old boots

 

[Jimjam66]

God, that makes my eyes water! Yup, it pains me to say it but I'm with Brian on this one - MAKE IT GO AWAY DAD!

 

[Grump]

Still got two sheets left out of the 50 I did have dad if ya want some more.
I might get round to cutting them up into pen blanks 1" x 1" strips or summick like it

That would be good mate please I would do the same with it as I did the last time

 

[Grump]

Aw dad if I had thought you wanted more I would have done it ages ago init?
You shall have some soon as I can get in shed this weekend if all goes to plan.
I dunno if I can find the you tube film of em being dropped out of the plane I'll ask Matt if he has a link.

Ooooh no, you're not getting away with it that easy Woody, sadly the binding phenol resin was impregnated with a few mega tone of presure and there is loads of the stuff bonding it all together. Its tougher than Brians old boots, believe me!! Its from the toolpost, its their Tigerwood (Project_Materials), tougher than dymondwood and the awful laminates from Axminster, you'll enjoy this one Woody! Mask essential for this one, the resin powder dont smell too good and tastes awful!

 

[Terry]

I agree with the others Woody!!!!!

Thanks for the warning Neil to be honest I'm looking forward to the challenge first a few pens then a small box I have turned dymondwood before and it didn't impress me at all in fact I didn't like it one little bit

So do I Terry but this friend was so pleased he could give me something I just couldn't say no to him
