Hello Good People! I am back in the shop after a few days in vacation!
Thank you @Megaton for your kind words! I hope you will enjoy your stem!
Here's a stand I have made from a piece of amboyna burl, with epoxy resin poured in the voids with a mix of pigments and gold leaves...
Do you like it?
I really like how it plays with the daylight!
Here's the final version:
A close shot...
There's a lot to experiment with resin and pigments, more pieces to come very soon !
All the best!

Awesome work! Great job!!!
Hmm @MAbud , wood can swell with the heat or humidity.
If your omni is a metal one, is it possible to use some small clamps to gently pull on it?
To use a lubricant like a drop of mineral oil should ease the process.
If you can not get your vc out by pulling on it, you can try to heat the tube a little and try to remove it while it's warm.
I hope it will help.

I figured it would have 40 open spots for all your Vapcaps.
LOL!!! Well, I wanted a small Vapcap stand to use when actively partaking in the sweet herb, not for stem storage. I think it will be perfect for a side table.
It's in the country and has passed customs so I'm hoping for it to arrive tomorrow or Tuesday!!!! Can't wait!
Hello good people!
A big thank you to @phattpiggie @Squiby @Xclerk @Whisper @Verax @Mr. Me2
All your words push me forward to create in the shop! That's priceless
Here's a piece of Philippine ebony like I didn't score so often...
As you can see, it's a raw piece for now, but with a beautiful grain.
I already turned this abv bowl in Mahogany...
I would like to do a special stand with this one, as we could imagine wood or turquoise inlay, maybe a carved part with gold leaves...
It could be adapted for a vapcap display or a log accessories display (Woodscents or Underdog).
If you are interested by a such creation, just let me know by pm and I will create a special one for you
I would be more than happy to do it for a member of our community
I wish you all a beautiful day!

Hello Good People!
Wow @vapenerd , you have post a beautiful family pic!
It is always good to have the choice to take the best stem for the day and change whenever you want
I have been working on some new VC stems in the shop, all with the removable glass tube (spikey or regular). Let's have a look...
This first one is in a beautiful piece of curly boxwood. To say the truth, it was the first time I scored such boxwood and I don't know when it will be possible to find some again...
It is really dense and shiny
Here's 4 more fancy ones...
From left to right:
Yellow amboyna burl with clear turquoise
Red amboyna burl, philippine ebony and turquoise inlay
Paldao and bloodwood, in a coke bottle style
Stabilized / dyed amboyna burl with turquoise ring for a touch of green...
