Fw: loose pins (long - fiberglass resin repair))

[Rob Stuart-Vail]

Richard,

You probably are familiar with delignit (pin block material made up of many
thin laminations).  Most Asian manufacturers use something like it, I believe,
in preference to the thicker laminations of maple.
Delignit is quite dense.  Even denser is falconwood.  I don't hear much about
it anymore - guess most of us decided delignit was easier to work with.

I don't remember the exact drill sizes we used, but I'm sure somebody will
jump in here with chapter and verse.  If not, I'll unearth my shop journals of
yore and look it up. Cheers---

Rob

Dear Kind and most obsequiously helpful list,
	There have been some mentions of  "falconwood".  What is this
substance (I presume) its nature, uses and source?
	If this is considered common knowledge, or a hackneyed FAQ, or was
discussed in detail last year in five different threads, I would
humbly endure the obloquy I risk in posing such a simple question.
