Spin the EVA on the lathe and use taut rod winding thread to slice it. Cuts like butter.

Weldwood contact cement is the ticket for glue up.

RodMaker Volume 7 #3 would have any particulars you might be interested in for EVA work. But it's really quite simple.

Just trim ring inlays. The upcoming issue will have Bernie Cohen's article on pattern inlays.
