  • Where to get Jelutong

    I have searched the internet for suppliers of Jelutong. All I found out is that it comes from Indonesia. Does anyone know of suppliers?

    Happy hollidays to all.

    How big pieces do you need xxx if you need small pieces I seem to remember seing some on luremaking.com (I think that's the url).

      Sorry, wrong url, it was
      TackleMaking.com
      but I was also mistaken about what was being offered. What they are is lure bodies. I thought they were small blocks. Guess you could carve something out of the lure body, but there has to be a better source someplace.

        In Tucson we are fortunate to have both a WoodCrafterand a Woodwoorkers Source. Woodworkers Source is better for Jelutong. http://www.woodworkerssource.net/

          Thanks for the suggestions.

          I'm into relief carving, so I'm looking for something in the area of 12' X 12' X 1' thick.

            You may have to do a little cutting and glueing to get a flat board.

              Our Judges are some of the best woodworkers I have ever met. On occasion I get asked to explain what I look for in the scrolling categories. I point out all of the nuances. I can't be a judge as I have intarsia and scroll work entries.

              There may have been some crud on the tips from manufacturing.
              In the ~20 years of scrolling I never cleaned the ends of my blades until recently. Even with the Pegas clamps I was having some blade slippage, I now scuff the ends of my blades with some 220 grit paper End of problem.!...

              Don’t over sand them as you will shorten their usable life. Only sand as needed. Another thing to do is clear your blades before installing. Blades are coated with oil to prevent rust. Wipe the ends with alcohol or lightly sand with 320 grit.

              The fact that you only had approximately 6 hours on the saw tells me there was a thin oily film on the clamps from the manufacturing process.
              If problem continues you may have spread the clamps in the process of tighten blades. A common problem with OEM parts. This issue will disappear by replacing...
