Twisted Koa™ and Aurora Borealis (3/4-7/8 X 5)
$20.00
The Twisted Koa™ and Aurora blank measures between 3/4and 7/8 inch square by 5
inches long and is an exceptional melding of gorgeous and dynamic
Hawaiian curly koa and colorful acrylic. . Divided with contrasting dyed
veneers. Ensure blank is secure while drilling as mixed media and
different hardness of material may cause blank to move if not secured. I
also like to put my blanks on mandrel and use a band saw set at 45
degrees and cut down the edges...the stop sign shape means less cutting,
tools stay sharper longer and less chance of blowout. Recommend using
Polyurethane glue on the brass tube insert. I have had really good luck
with these on the lathe but stuff happens, not responsible for blowouts.
Keep tools sharp and pressure low.
