Time in the shop this week

[Dale Parrott]

Continuing with the designs that Ken started this is my latest version. This is a one piece Gun Metal Slimline, Black Locust body, and Black Walnut inserts. All held together with thin CA. Comments and criticism always welcome.

These are unique designs and guess the designs are limitless using these jigs. Only the imagination can hold you back. Keep them coming. Looks good.

Beautiful result Dale. You two make a great duet to inspire each other and others!

Nice work, Dale !!! . Thanks for showing !!!

Yet another interesting and somewhat different result ... based on a jig similar to previous (I assume).

Highly attractive !!!

Very nice design. I like the 1-piece slim, but did one a while back out of unstabilized pecan and it warped and locked up the twist. The guy I gave it to was a coworker, and I think he had it in his pocket and was working outside and got sweaty. Probably would've been fine in a normal office type environment, but I avoid the style in general and would only go with plastic or stabilized wood. Have you had any issues with segmented ones in this style? Any precautions or safeguards you can recommend?
