CP: Busman Dymondwood!
Paul, this is one of the prettiest whistles I've ever seen, but just think how many diamonds had to be cut down just for this one wooden whistle.

Nice Whistle
Another great creation for you Paul!
I will go to my grave a committed fine wood lover. But for those who seem to be concerned with the care and feeding of the typical (real) wood whistle, this certainly solves that objection and looks like wood to boot. I might choose a different color in my case, and I guess it is available in many colors.
You may have created a new dilemma for those of us who have considered the Delrin whistles for its care profile.
Way to go Paul!

Is there a weight difference with the dymondwood?
I wonder how my wife would feel about me getting that for mother's day? I know she's supposed to get the gifts, but wouldn't it make her feel better for me to have something that pretty?

Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.

From my supplier's website:Henke wrote:So what is this material anyway? Blue and waterproof. Is it wood at all?
Dymondwood® is made from 1/16 hardwood veneers that are vacuum impregnated with dye and phenolic resin. The veneers are layered and compressed under high pressure and heat to slightly over half the original thickness. The result is a dense, warp-resistant material that will finish to a high polish without stains or finishes. It is hard and somewhat brittle and thus can chip or crack if proper techniques are not followed. It will dull cutting tools faster than most average woods.

If you really want to push the envelope, you could tell her that you simply HAD to have one because it's the first whistle you've ever seen that was almost as pretty as she is...DavidT wrote:You might escape a hideous death by playing a sweet air especially composed just for her.
