Ed's TnT Wooden Vapor Tubes & Vapor Stems

Good morning everyone, hope all is well out you alls way! Been a really nice couple of days past since we the sun came back out after another downpour, got 2-5 inches more rain, now after a couple days the ground is dry and the grass is growing more and more, still havent knocked back all the volunteer grass from the winter yet but that will happen soon enough. Have been rocking and rolling in the shop for a couple days hard, got quiet the number of FM pieces done and even worked up my idea for the Mighty with an 18mm wong adapter, have the concept down, even has tabs that hold it in place, my idea for the tabs are kinda rough at the moment, but think I have a solution for making them alot cleaner. Gotta say the Mighty Wong really does it for me, still aint one for the unit but sure like the way the wood dresses up the device, very cool! Boys had range practice again last week, they did well, got another round this week, they are really progressing, hoping they stick to it, got a couple of guns am looking at for em for next year,
a Stoeger Condor
This is a really nice gun, I have never dealt with any such, has the one trigger, fires the bottom shell first then the upper. I have only seen side by side old school double barrels with two triggers.
and a Ruger 22/45
Both are sweet guns, one of the older kids shoots the Stoeger 20 gauge, he is a heckofa shot, havent seen anyone with the Ruger above but have eyeballed it at the gun shop, very neat! @Reflections I am sure you will dig what I have picked out so far, pls tell me your thoughts!
Got some pieces to shoot today for Show & Tell tomorrow or so, the range of these pieces were really fun to do, hope you all like what you see when I post up!
Already have a couple on online outdoor sites that are going to run the mount pic, one is rather relevant for the state of Texas, they are going to feature it with pics from the hunt and the story as well, have Browning interested in it also, how cool it is to be recognized for something different than what I normally do. Alot to be happy about my way, I have never been one to put much thought into what I do as far as getting a big head about it, I have always just figured it to be another day at the office, I was telling a good friend about what has been going on, he told me "Hey its not just another day at the office, its a big deal, celebrate your successes!" I dont think I have ever really done that, was wise words and made me step back and be mindful as well as thankful for my blessings, God is great, life is good and my boys are healthy!
@Vakas Ahh hah, you may have seen a piece I did for that unit, was it a wong style piece maybe? I did make a few of them for @stickstones havent heard anything more about them after the one run, did hear around the way that they may have broken off the nipple thing on the top of the cap, guess thats why I never heard anything else, ya might wanna ask around about that bro! Thanks for stopping by and posting up, hope all is well for ya!

Nice duck plaque Ed!! Very creative! Let us know when they run the mount pic in the magazines and congrats!!
The stoeger condor gun looks sweet..never seen one.
There seems to be good/bad reviews on the ruger 22/45
http://www.gunsandammo.com/reviews/ruger-2245-lite-review/
I hope the boys keep up the practice too.
I also read you will be making the milaana bodies? wow just might have to get one if you make the wood bodies..smiles

Good morning, @Reflections Yeah after reading the link I may go for the S&W I saw, was a bit higher but its a S&W, will look into it and see how it measures up, thanks! Glad you like the plaque, really cool! Have seen the Stoeger in action, I know it performs well in the right hands! Not so sure I will be doing Milaana's did a couple, no response, no big deal, is what it is, not like I dont have enough on my plate right. Hope you are doing well and thanks for having a look!
Now for a quick Show & Tell, did these over the last couple weeks,
This is a Thuya Burl Solo stem, my guy told me to do what I felt with it, I turned off the edges, saw its beauty and couldnt bring myself to take away from it, you cant see what I saw in the pic, really hard to capture it but this piece is stunning!
Kingwood 18mm Zion/Milaana Stem, I showed this to a friend and he was like no way did you lay it out like that, I was like sure I did, I knew for a fact it would turn out like it did, lol, the X's on either side of the center detail are so distinct!
Now he also wanted a long slender UD stem made from Purpleheart for his GF, said he kinda wanted it shapely & sexy like a woman, its 5"L, knew the bead would burn dark purple from the high heat of the friction as did the burn bands.
I hope I nailed it my man! Look forward to your thoughts!

Great people are capable of great things!! In Eds case he makes it easy and does it with a class all of his own.
I can't wait to get these in my hands and give the gifts out. The solo goes to my friend and my lovely lady will get the UD. That leaves this amazing zion for me!!
Thanks @Ed's TnT you really did some beautiful work!!

You Must Unlearn, What You Have Learned...
I don't always vape with a Zion but when I do I use EdsTnT Dos Equis stems. It's wood that's fit for a king!
@Philreal187 - I shoulda known! 
Oh boy! They are all seriously stunning examples of Ed's fine, fine work, but that Kingwood RBT stem!
Ed, you are a true master! The pattern you have exposed in that piece is phenomenal! Thank you for sharing your gift with us lucky folk here at F.C!
Phil, bro - you are gonna make your buddy & your good lady very happy people, AND, if you think perhaps that the Zion stem just isn't quite what you were after, y'know, cuz I think that Ed can probably do much better, then you know where to send it
Hee hee! Yeah, AS IF!!! I mean, I might be lucky, but I ain't that lucky!
Beautiful work Ed. And Phil, you're a discerning connoisseur.
Much respect to the both of you.

Wowwww all these kind kind words sure do make a tough day alot easier, third gear went out in my truck, not sure how that happens but costs $1300 to have repaired, wasnt figuring that into the budget at all this month, if anyone wants to just throw some cash my way Id sure appreciate it, lol!
@Philreal187 If I wasnt so down about the truck I swear id have a head so big it wouldnt fit through the door! Anyhow I am no better than any one else, greatness is something I may never achieve, yall know my strategy, get there early and hope I get lucky is all! Really glad you like the pieces, they were and always are fun to make. I have even begun doing S&T at my website under my blog page, its really just a copy and past pretty much of what I do here but without naming names, figured it would be cool to show visitors there what I do from time to time when allowed to do so. As I said before bro, thanks for letting me do what I love, was a pleasure and a honor!
@SSVUN~YAH LOL that's so good bro! So hate that he is retiring, they are getting a new guy to play his part so I heard, not sure if that is possible. Thanks for the post my man and the smile you gave me!
@VegNVape You know thats nice to offer Phil to take that zion stem, what a friendly thing to do bro! Thanks to you as well for the kind words, they are most appreciated!

@Shit Snacks looks like I should be boarding the zion train in July according to the last update!! I do feel quite blessed to get that KING(of all)WOOD. I hoping maybe in the meantime this zion stem will fit onto my EQ..?? If not its back to the most anticipated vape wait of my life haha. 
If I was to become confused and disoriented and get the rbt refund I would first class that stem right to you @VegNVape!!
You're always welcome to come across the pond and try it out on your zion duo. I cook some mean vegan food 
@Ed's TnT sorry to hear about the truck, unexpected vehicle expenses always but a bit of a damper on the day. But as many wise folks have said everything happens for some reason just believe it was meant to be.
I appreciate your guys feed back!! Once these bad boys get to the house I'm expecting to have a floor to fix because my jaw is sure to drop right through!!!

Hee hee!
Awww you are too kind my good sir!
But, I think you know that in all seriousness, I really, REALLY just want you to recieve your RBT Zion and that exquisite Ed's TnT Kingwood stem, and for you to enjoy the living hell out of them! - Aaaand then report back here of course 
In fact that will make me a very happy chappy!
Yes yes
However, if you're very kindly saying that you can knock up a mean vegan feast . . . . well then bud, I think that you and I could have an absolutely epic and most legendary vapor-food-&-craft-beer-single-malt-sesh!
And after all, it is only a pond, isn't it? Admittedly it's a big pond. But I mean honestly, just how big can a pond really be?!
Look out y'all!

Hello again, thanks for keeping an eye out on me my man, you are part of as you said a wonderful place now, FC is a great community of friendly folks with much much knowledge, help, & support! I have only made a few of these zion/milaana pieces as customs for now, not sure where they are headed TBH, all I know is that time will tell, hang in there and dont stop coming by for looks here and there, so much is going on just trying to fit in what I can where I can. I hope all is well for you and look to hear from you again one day soon!
Y'know Ed, you truly are generous to a fault! And that's jolly thoughtful of you, really it is, but tbh, the more I think about it, the bigger I think that pond actually is . . . . so unfortunately bro, I don't think that I'll be able to take you up on your oh so kind offer anytime soon. Such a shame eh?
![:\](/i/s/hmm.gif "Hmm :\")
(Philreal187 - I'll p.m. you bruv!)

10 Small wood jars with Lazy Susan same wood? Price, Timing?
Hey there my man, hmmm you know I don't make the wooden jars, I wanna say I did post that, they are very well made as I said though and do work great. As far as the lazy Susan that's not something I have time for atm gots much to much on my plate for several weeks. The jars are made from Indian rosewood finding a piece large enough to do a Susan would be tough. If you would like you can hit me with a PM and we can discuss a bulk order. I'm all about #'s bro!
Hello and good morning, I hope all is well out there, just wanted to jump on for a sec and give everyone a heads up,
I would like everyone to know that I am not making Milaana nor Zion bodies, I have made a couple Milaana but have no idea what ever came of them, I have no idea where this is going or if it is going to go at all, pls dont think or buy any of either based on me making them as I am not.
I will make stems for it in some fashion or another for custom, retail or wholesale if they come to be in the future if you all like. I hope I am not letting any of you down as I dont like being let down myself!

FUCK CANCER TOO !
Really sorry to hear that, Ed!
On the upside, you and George are doing some VERY nice work with the VapCap and accessories! Just received a ti-woody with Dynastash this past Thursday and it's REALLY stunning craftsmanship! Haven't used it yet as I'm still just admiring their looks!
Best,

That's a real shame Ed, I was really hoping for/looking forward to an Ed's exotic Milaana 
I'll have to find something else to do with the huge blank I bought from Snappo!
Please don't feel as though you've let anyone down though, you sounded like you'd have been up for it
.
I'll be ready with wood for when you decide to do some more custom pieces!
I'll have to content myself with some of your accessories like stems/WonGs and VonGs, and that's no great hardship
Egad!
I forgot to say thanks for my Vapcap burly, it's freakin' GORGEOUS, and the VonGs George is selling on the Dynavap site are very very nice too!

Good afternoon everyone, hope all is well and you all are having a wonderful day of rest!
@Fat Freddy Nothing to be sorry about my man, it is what it is! Super glad you got all that wood from George and hope you are using it with much success by now! Thanks for the kind words for my work, I am most grateful!
@Copacetic Yes sir I was enthusiastic about it and all in the beginning but hey can not control what is out of my control. No sweat though, am sure I can do something with that block of wood you got there, even if its just a small chunk from a corner I will do something for ya! Glad you like the VC burl and Vongs George and I have been working on, they are alot of fun to make.
Now for an update and additions to my website, there will be a new category there that I have never done before, I have always been a wood guy and kept my site to wood products specifically but times are a changing! I will be adding a glass section where I will be offering pieces that some of you may have seen out there and some you may have never seen as they have just been created and designed by a really really good friend of mine. He has worked hard for many months to perfect these pieces and to achieve a consistent manufacturing process that is reliable and can be counted on. The packaging is very nice too and all takes time. I think I have made mention of glass here in the past but now the time has come. So be on the look out, got a lot to do, pages to add, pics to take, text to write, I am excited about this and hope you all are as well! Will give you all more info as I am able to produce it.

Milaana. Lana. LANA. LANAAAA! (TM2/TP80/BAK/FW9)
Nice Ed! Good to see glass with the wood, looking forward to it.
Regarding Milaana, I think his plan was to make the first batch with his original wood supplier, which could be more than the initial 40, could even be 100 or so. He's probably planning to get back to you about your bodies but as usual everything is taking a bit longer than expected... Please let us know if/when you hear something, hopefully everything works out.
Either way we will still have your amazing wood craftsmanship with various Zion and Milaana stems thankfully!
