Thanked: 4207
Cleaning these test pieces up with some hand sanding and they don't look to bad actually.
That spindex turning jig would be spot on, might look into purchasing one down the road for work, but ideally I can still come up with a jig that does what I need for home use. Thinking of something that can tie into my wood lathe ultimately..
Think this amboyna one's bumping the babinga outta the box Tom..
More to fiddle with on this project, but I think it's doable now.

Thanks Tony. Gonna try a couple out of Uhmw this week to continue to refine the process.
Should be able to mass produce them by the spring. Hehe.
Now to choose and order some appropriate knots. 24-25 mm dia, but thinking of ordering some shave Mac as opposed to tgn.
Happy Monday men.

You buy the cheapest ones, which I think can be had for $14-$19 Canadian, and then just rip em apart. Check a guy out on Amazon named Wish4Blades.

Giving it a go in some synthetic materials this week.
Hope to have this one done for St Patrick's shave this weekend.
With some turning speed adjustments as suggested by Andrew I was able to get this one turned without grenading happily, so now I need to work on a few others in a softer wearstrip materials from work that are a pure white color. They might look perfect with new boar knots in em.
Have a few 2 band knots on order now as well to try.
Just want to revisit the jig idea again. Think I can tighten up the design while I decide on buying that spindex unit..

Not to throw a detour in your thinking but what about a router hooked up on your lathe ? Tons of ways to go about it from home made jigs to to expensive attachments. I have always wanted on for turning table legs.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
