Dymondwood

[callmakerman]

has been a hot item this year. I'm still getting requests for it and I thought I'd better post this. I do have a few sticks of dymondwood that I have put back for myself in case I lose one of my personal strikers other then that I do not have any more. Like everyone else I would love to hear that someone plans on making it again but after almost 2 years that seems to be a pipe dream.  I'm going to be turning some Dymalux to try it out and see how it compares. It for me is about as close as I can come to dymondwood at this time.

I haven't tried it yet myself but have heard mixed reviews on it. OK Matt you talked me into it. I'll buy some off you.

With Webb wood, you have to cut it the right way or it won't turn well.  I had 3 samples from them.  It isn't that bad but it isn't Dymondwood.

What is Dymondwood ? I have several dymondwood strikers from several call makers none of them look,feel or sound them same. I see several colors from bubblegum to plain dymondwood. Other striker woods are usually
more of the same look and close in sound to me.

Dymondwood is a man made plywood type product that was made by the Rutland company before they burned down a few years ago.  The product was layers of beechwood that were individually stained in various colors,  sprayed with resin and pressed and heated until cured. There was a myriad of colors.  Even though it was a man made product,  not all Dymondwood was the same.  Some was harder than others.
