BadBob Posted January 6, 2025 Report Posted January 6, 2025 Is one cutting anything from spectraply? It looks interesting but very expensive. Quote
JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted January 6, 2025 Report Posted January 6, 2025 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. BadBob, Be_O_Be, Roberta Moreton and 1 other 4 Quote
BadBob Posted January 7, 2025 Author Report Posted January 7, 2025 I have tried searching for SpectraPly projects, and 99.9% are lathe-turning projects. JTTHECLOCKMAN and Be_O_Be 2 Quote
barb.j.enders Posted January 7, 2025 Report Posted January 7, 2025 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, 2025 Report Posted January 7, 2025 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, 2025 Report Posted January 9, 2025 I have used Spectraply from Cousineau Wood Products to turn pens, bottle stoppers, ect. Great stuff. They use to sell cut offs cheap. Quote
