BadBob Posted January 6 Report Posted January 6 Is one cutting anything from spectraply? It looks interesting but very expensive. Quote
JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted January 6 Report Posted January 6 I do not scroll with it but made many of these type baskets. In fact I ordered some more boards of different colors about 3 years ago that I have never cut down yet. In the turning field we make pens, bottle stoppers and a lot of different items from this stuff. It does make interesting projects. Roberta Moreton, Be_O_Be, JackJones and 1 other 4 Quote
BadBob Posted January 7 Author Report Posted January 7 I have tried searching for SpectraPly projects, and 99.9% are lathe-turning projects. Be_O_Be and JTTHECLOCKMAN 2 Quote
barb.j.enders Posted January 7 Report Posted January 7 I looked at it to make the ribbon ornaments. I thought the red/green would be nice. Just couldn't justify the cost. Be_O_Be 1 Quote
rash_powder Posted January 7 Report Posted January 7 If I was making gun stocks that stuff would be awesome. I want to make one, but a first go would absolutely not be from that stuff. Be_O_Be 1 Quote

It is several shades of brown. I lave the look of it. Be_O_Be 1 Quote

JimNC Posted January 9 Report Posted January 9 I have used Spectraply from Cousineau Wood Products to turn pens, bottle stoppers, ect. Great stuff. They use to sell cut offs cheap. Quote
