I've got a bunch of DPS's that will be cut. What a Scam that it is more expensive for less. Plus, they don't even offer a Skeleton in size 20 (or they do, and it's only one color?) I made a few Cork inserts, jst one more thing to make a rod take longer to complete. I do love it though. I have some 3/4"x3/4" Wood that was supposed to be used for Pens, I think that will come close for a size 16.

Finish with 320 and it's like glass, I wonder what finishing with 2000 will look like - lol. I'm going to assume you butcher at least one, if not, dont' bother sending it to me.

How are you turning these, by hand, or with a metal lathe = precise?

What colors? I tried snatching some from the Home Depot where they have the samples. Whatever glue they use to get it to stick to the big sample board - I'm sure you could use as well - lol.

ChumB - have you seen Corian on a rod before> It looks sweet. Anything different and unusual looks sweet.
