hi Marcel, The following are some stuff that I started for
the six point full splice experiments, but now it is on the
shelf until I get back playing with the 6 pointer. You can
see the flat bottom points and if you want sharp bottom
points you're looking at an extra minimum $120. The sharp
bottom points is a lot of hand work that tries my patience.
The 4 point bottoms are also much hand work and the
veneers make it even tuffer. That is all stuff that I enjoy, I
just chant. I also have one piece of stabilized curly maple
and you can see its a premium piece. The curls are tight.
They call it museum grade.

I screwed up on the long points and they can not be aligned.
But this gives you a feel for the look. The other ones do align.
Much care is needed to get the points line up. I just need
to be careful setting things up.

I could use the curly with the existing hexagonal tulip to
make a blank. But like I said in the pm, I won't be experimenting
with the 6 pointer until much later. I'm still working on my technique for the
bottom points of the 4 point full splice.
