@stickstones as far as caring for the wooden stem, I recommend using some Bomb Ass Butter, its a mineral oil/beeswax mixture that I make myself. You simply wipe it on and wipe it off to seal and rejuvenate the wood. It really brings the luster back to a worn piece. You may already have something...
Thank you Jam, I hope I am able to really capture their beauty when I shoot them for the website. Its gonna be tough to show all the vibrant colors. Cant wait to show you when they are finished! Thanks for stopping by and for the kind words!
Good morning, been turning solo stems last night from the Cocobolo I had gotten not long ago. I gotta say these are the finest pieces I have turned of this species. The rich colors and varying tones are something I have never seen before. There are blues, purples, pale greens and bright oranges...
Good deal Aezhenn, glad it made it there and am glad you are happy with it. Thanks for the best wishes and I wish nothing but the same for you and yours!
I too would like to do something for the nano and hopefully in time I can get something made. Thanks for your interest in my work and I wish you all the best.
Hello and good morning, been super busy the last couplea days turning stems and even went and bought myself a bad ass brand spanking new Honda 15hp outboard motor for my john boat. I was so excited that I was freaking speeding down the highway going 78 in a 65, trooper pulled me over and asked...
Hello and good morning everyone, I am hoping all is well out there for you all! I have finally finished all the dugouts that I have been working on for the last few weeks and have gotten them back in stock for the holidays if anyone is interested. I wanted to post some pics of these stunners...
Hello and good morning out there, hope everyone had a great time with family and friends over the Thanksgiving holiday! I really enjoyed ours, been eating turkey sandwiches for a couple of days. Been doing a little hunting with my kids also, still hadnt had any luck but been spending great...
Oh just got a new FW 2.0 today, thank you Marc! Have it charging now and am thinking stems. Just need to get a little down time to turn something out. Cant wait to try this piece! I think its a finished piece, maple for sure. Its very well made and may be my go to portable.
@Maine420 Hello and thank you for your business. I got your order in Monday night, not sure why the bank has it on hold, I have processed it on my end. It will ship first of next week. I am gonna be in the shop as much as possible the rest of today and this week. Thanks again and I wish you all...
I dont wanna let mine go thats for sure! I think it is the only whip style log vape out there. It works great as whip and also direct draw. I really enjoy its solid hits either way. Consider no longer bro, get your self one and I am sure you will be very happy with it!
@MileHighLife glad to hear you are enjoying that piece! It was fun to make. Really short for what I am used to but looked really cool! Thanks for the post bro and for stopping by!
Well I have been super busy in the shop the last few days, been putting dugouts together trying to get caught up...
Right on Curiousone, glad I was able to help out with the finish, really glad to hear you're still digging the stem. Thanks for letting me know. Hope all is well and wish you all the best.
Aezhenn, thanks for your understanding bro, family is what I do all this work for! I try like we all do for our kids to give them everything I didn't have when I was a kid.
I put a mineral oil/ beeswax finish that i make myself on the wood after its been finish sanded. It really penetrates and...
Hello and good morning everyone, I hope all is well out there. I spent the last week doing some quality time with the family. I didnt do hardly any wood work at all. Oh I had lots to do but just really wasnt feeling it so I spent some good times with the wife and kids. We just had deer season...
As for as difference it may just be in my head but I like the denser woods. The grain is tighter in the blackwood than the rest. The cocobolo is close. I feel the denser the wood the crisper the vapor is, but once the wood is seasoned they will all be close in similarities. I also like the dense...
@Caligula All my solo stems have the same bowl size which are at 1/2" depth x 1/2" ID. You can pack a solid load in em. I think they are maybe a little more than the stock stems and comparable to the PV. I still have a couplea three bog oak left. Not sure when I will have more. If you want a...
