Lol, I didn’t even notice those. My attention was completely absorbed by the slabs of pretty plywood. ---

He made his own spectraply by pressing a bunch of popsicle sticks together, then made a knack out of it. I thought it was sick, but not sure what happened to it. Can’t find the pics for the life of me. ---

I still have it somehere, but it isn’t great. After a few days some of the popsticks decidided to shrink which is weird. ---

The picture above of the popstick KNack gives you a good idea of what the colour patterns will look like on the Spectraply. Check out the face; four layers are showing, so the SpectraPly KNacks will have a target board kind of look. ---

I’m not sure yet. I _think_ I like it. I understand why Colin of TMBR orients the ply the way he does. It makes for a more consistent turning experience between the ply and epoxy. The way I’ve done it is more challenging. This one will.turn out a perfect weight; about 49.5g. ![20200305_213233](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/e/6/5e6b17a531a2d30a49b6d02097eb02c0b70a125c.jpeg) ![20200305_213241](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/f/e/6fe90e8941da73a1be3188dfd799cd606110105d.jpeg) ---

Do you like the orientation of the grain? Like the rings along the profile and target board face? ---

> [@adamantiumpops](#): > > I REALLY like it. But if it’s difficult enough, I’m sure the other direction would also look just as nice. Having started turning the second half, I’m getting a better feel for it now. It’s not that tricky after all. I just need to be a bit more aggressive with my cuts. I heard other woodturners say that it’s exactly the same as turning a regular piece of wood, but that’s not true, it’s different. ---
