Knobs 267, 268, 269<\/p><\/div>\n

Knobs 267, 268 & 269 are 3 of 8 knobs made from a \u00be\u201d by 4\u201d board of Yellowheart, and a \u00bc\u201d by 1.5 \u201c stick of Bloodwood.\u00a0 A 3\/4 x 1.5 x 4\u201d piece of Yellowheart was glued to a \u00bc x 1.5 x 4\u201d piece of Bloodwood, with the grains of each piece crossing the other at 90 degrees.\u00a0 The Bloodwood warps in contact with water-base yellow wood glue, so four C-clamps had to be used to flatten it agains the Yellowheart.<\/p>\n

This made up a laminated piece of wood 1 x 1.5 x 4\u201d, which was cut, dividing the 1.5\u201d dimension in half, making two pieces 1 x \u00be x 4\u201d.\u00a0 Those two pieces were cut into four each, making 8 knob blanks of about 1 x 1\u201d, \u00be\u201d high, with the Yellowheart grain vertical and the Bloodwood grain horizontal, as can be seen in the picture above.\u00a0 The bloodwood provides a kind of rotation pointer.\u00a0 Each knob has a base coat of Superglue (SG), layers of SG, and a final finis of Kiwi neutral shoe polish.<\/p>\n

This gives the Yellowheart iridescence on the sides, but not the top, and the bloodwood iridescence on the top and from a particular angle on the side.\u00a0 Knob 269 in the bottom right of the image above was not turned to the precise angle to show it.\u00a0 Knob 267 in the \u00a0upper left shows the non-iridescent deep red end grain of the Bloodwood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
