Ok, this one needs a story!
this spalted maple was SUPER COOL LOOKING but too soft to be used as a shuttle. i dried the wood completely, submerged the blanks in colored heat activated resin, placed the container in a vacuum chamber for 2 days until no bubbles of air came out. then the blank was left to soak for 4 days and finally baked in an over to cure the resin.
the end product is a resilient shuttle with a cool red/orange color that is harc enough to use for years!
1 1/2 inches wide, 10 inches long and 1/4 inch thick with one side tapered to use as a beater. the pointed side can be used for pickup style weaving but is NOT designed for or intended to be used as a shiv.
