And they asked me to make these to be put on display in the store for a month..... with my card.....

First cut and glue up........two pieces of  1/16" maple (= 1/8"....the width of the saw blade used) glued with alternating end grains  into walnut at 15deg.......


Second cut and glue up.......


Third........Rotate the pieces 1 quarter turn .......


And do it all over again........


Then turn when dry...........



TA DaAA......
They asked for a set of darts.....but I did not want to do just wood.....the knot was my idea....they will be displayed in the store sometime next month..... the flights were their choice......I would change them....the tips will be put on when I get there....They weigh 12 grahms ea. without the tips.

Those knotts are nice. The darts are awesome Al.

Don't bring shame to our sport.

He died for dipshits too.
