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.......

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.
