tagua nut turning...spelling?
i've been making pens for a little while now and have been asked questions
about using tagua nuts (natural fake ivory) for making bands around the middle. one fellow was having two problems with them...1. they seem to crack a lot. and 2. they chip when being turned. they sand just fine. we tried normal super glue, but that didn't help the crack problem. we put the band on the brass tube with 5 minute epoxy...could it be heating up too much and causing the cracking? Could chatter while the band is being turned cause the chipping and cracking both? Any ideas? rich -- atv rider polaris 500 glass creations drz400s wood carver spode |
