Title: Something different
Post by: West Augusta on March 21, 2013, 05:37:41 PM

At Nashville, I was asked to try something different by a member.  Something outside of my comfort zone as far as strikers is concerned. 
Dymond wood and flared tip to boot.  I agreed but decided that I needed to make a straight tip first to see how it would work and sound.
 I like them.  The straight tip is mine.  The flared tip is headed to Ohio.

I do also Bill.  I personally prefer a straight tip.  Some don't.  I thought that I would give it a try.
Tommy,  Dymond wood is softer than I usually use for strikers, but these don't sound bad.  It's definately different.
I'll give mine a good run in Texas.

Thanks for the comments.

Those came out really nice Steve . Dymondwood makes one of the finest strikers you can run . The alternating layers of wood give them friction that is hard to find in most strikers , period. If you have never run one , give 'em a try , you won't be disappointed . It will run on every surface from slate to copper and does it with awesome rasp . Great job Steve !!!
