Description
DymaLux
DymaLux is a resin-infused Birch laminate composed of Grade A Birch veneers that are dyed into stunning colors. An extremely dense, rock hard, water & heat resistant material that finishes beautifully with a quick sand and polish. DymaLux makes great knife handles.
They come in two thickness, 1/4″ & 3/8″ and are approximately 4 7/8″x 9 7/8″ in size.
When making your handles, you will want the same color showing on the outside of the knife handle in order to have the same look on both sides.
Important DymaLux Manufacturing Information
Wood is an organic material with varying characteristics from one piece to the next. Here’s a list of a few things to expect and should not be considered as defects in DymaLux material characteristics from one piece to the next.
- Color. Our dye process never changes, and CWP is known for having consistent colors with full penetration throughout. We use the same dyes for each load. However, once in a while there is a group of veneer that did not accept the dye exactly as the previous batch did. Usually this is simply a matter of how dense that specific log was. The denser the wood, the harder to achieve total dye absorption. Very minor changes between dye lots will occur, and should not be considered defective.
- Warping. Unlike traditional plywood, DymaLux panels are produced with the grain running in the same direction. This is necessary for processing the material, but a downside is that it can cause a slight bow or warp on thin panels. If you order panels under 1″ thick, please be advised that they may not be perfectly flat.
- Panel Surface. The plates in our presses are monitored for flatness and replaced as needed. Because of the tremendous amount of pressure applied during the DymaLux process, panels can emerge from the press with very small bumps on the surface. This is rarely an issue, as 99% of our customers will be machining, turning, or sanding the material in some way which will remove these small imperfections.
- Thickness. All panels will have a minimum thickness of what you ordered, and can be up to 0.125″ over your required thickness.
