[QUOTE="3inSlugger, post: 2941213, member: 18508"] So I finally finished my benches in my shop and decided to do a small project with some exotic wood! IMGUR link here: [URL]http://imgur.com/a/YvEWw[/URL] For all the old farts: Killswitch Engage is a metal band that you probably wouldn't like, but that doesn't matter much. I used Patagonian Rosewood aka Curupay aka Cebil ([URL]http://www.wood-database.com/cebil/[/URL]). It is extremely dense and hard. It supposedly dulls blades very fast and will almost take a glass finish if sanded well and sealed. I just lacquered it, It still came out pretty decent. I literally twisted apart two eyelets and drill bit in thee stuff though. Ridiculous. Would probably make for great turning stock and I'm pretty sure its a true rosewood by that characteristic rose smell while being cut. Since it's a metal band's poster I HAD to use metal in thee bill. There's no nails, just two eyelets to hand from and some staples. Its all held together with the aluminum splines and epoxy. I got the wood from Woodcraft and total cost for the project is probably around $30 including the hardwood. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i.imgur.com_5hkya9b.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
