2 Custom Vapcap XL stems

Bought an Omni and Ti Woody and found them to be difficult to spin on my hands, so I made XL stems for ergonomic reasons, and just like everything I make I always make an extra one to share.
I'm a machinist by trade, and this was a challenge for me, and now I have a level of respect for wood working artists in this forum.
I will be as through as possible, but I'm sure I will forget some information, so PM me if you have any questions.

I'm showing two Chechen Burl, and Two Buckeye Burl stems, you can pick one of each.
They are all new, never used.
Chechen are 5 inches long, Buckeye 6.
Chechen is denser, heavier and harder.
All have a Stainless steel core.
All are tapered, meaning cone shaped.
Chechen was 100 % machined, Buckeye a combination of machine and hand shaped.
Buckeye wood has imperfections, it adds character in my opinion.
All have carb holes, if you don't like those, a little bit of bees wax can cover it.
The wood is raw, hasn't been treated with oils or waxes, it will look better after you do.
The stand/base is made out of Titanium, no magnet, hole bored to tip size, half inch deep, more stable than magnet for these stems length. and there's only one available, first come.

Chechen is $42.00 Buckeye $37.00 shipped CONUS, or best offer.
Add stand/base for $20.00.

Ti tip not included.
