Thanks javeryh. This stick gave me a fight but it was worth it. This dymondwood is real hard stuff and didn't take to normal wood glue. Here is a link to the manufacturer of the stuff. The wood comes in various colors and the process compresses it down to about 1/2 it's normal thickness.

The finish is just a clear high gloss spray polyurethane on raw wood. The color is impregnated into the fibers of the wood during the manufacturing process.
Take your time SNAAKE, I have three in the que currently. One of which is going to be another stick with this wood that I am about to start only in my angled style. I could have the other two cases ready for viewing next weekend.

The cold weather is slowing me down with painting. I had two cans of spray paint clog up on me due to the cold. :banghead: On another front here is a little taste of the next Dymondwood stick in progress. ;) I got a new 3/4" round over router bit just with this box in mind. ;D
Jeff AMN:
WOW! That pattern is GORGEOUS!
That is going to be one beautiful stick. Maybe you ought to invest in a space heater or two to get things warmed up before you work in the garage and to help with drying times.

Thanks for the comments guys. ;D
I am toying with the idea of creating a 'warm box'. It'll be a 3'-4' cube with an inlet and outlet vent where a small ceramic heater will pump in warm air keeping things warm enough to let the finish dry properly. The ceramic heater has no spark or flame so any fumes will not ignite. It also has a fan built in so it will push the air into the box. The outlet vent will allow the fumes to escape the box so they don't build up. I'll keep my wood and paint in the house so they go out to the garage warm and I won't be trying to thaw they out before I use them. My spray paint dries in under 15 minutes under good conditions so the heater won't be on for any long periods.
What do you think?
