About Dymondwood Turning Blanks and Pen Blanks
Dymondwood® is made from 1/16 hardwood veneers that are vacuum impregnated with dye and phenolic resin. The veneers are layered and compressed under high pressure and heat to slightly over half the original thickness. The result is a dense, warp-resistant material that will finish to a high polish without stains or finishes. It is hard and somewhat brittle and thus can chip or crack if proper techniques are not followed. It will dull cutting tools faster than most average woods. You can produce excellent results with your Dymondwood blanks by using a few special techniques.
