Re: Diamond willow wood.
Muffy,
I'm not sure if it's an old wives tale or reality, but I've always been told that Diamond willow grows where there is enough really cold weather to freeze/snap off sucker growth to a branch--thus the diamonds are formed.
Whatever causes it, it sure is a cool way to do a walking stick.

by RolfOur 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.

by RolfThere 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.!...-

by NC ScrollerDon’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.
