Something new, for me anyway...

[Ed Davidson]

Decided to spend the day trying to master thimble making. First two attempts in Zebrawood and Padauk cracked...too much grain and turned too thin. So, for the 3rd try, thought I’d use some harder material...1" cast acrylic rod. This little guy measures about 1" high and 3/4" wide at the base.

Very nice Ed.. way to tiny for a beginner like me.. but one day ;)
Keep up the great work.. it inspires us newbies. :)

Very nice. Where did you find the casted rod?

hey...that's pretty cool Ed! I wonder how maple or ebony...maybe African Blackwood would behave. Very neat

Thanks guys. Here's where I get all my acrylic: http://delviesplastics.com . Check the lower right-hand corner of this page for a link to their cast stuff. Great selection.

Yes, I'll be experimenting with some fine grain woods next...should work out.
