Beautiful, @Dan Morrison. I can hardly wait to see what you do with that roasted curly maple.

Why does so much beauty make me so sad (said the man with no batch number yet)? I’ll go cry in my vapor cloud and continue to wait patiently though for one of these rare gems. Excellent work Dan.

We are getting dangerously close now. As always... it seems like there are endless little things to fiddle around with near the end of the crafting process, polishing out little scratches I missed... fitting, adjusting... refinishing... polishing again... It just seems to suck up time, I don't know how it happens. But these are all looking mighty fine at the moment!
I couldn't pick a favourite if I tried... they all look so awesome!
Maple Burl + Purpleheart
-This one still needs two custom details added, hes back on the bench now for these finishing touches.
Pin Cherry Burl + English boxwood
Check out those growth rings, 50+ yrs to grow a piece of wood large enough to make this bottom.
Blue labradorite button.
Verawood + Ebony
Honduran rosewood burl + A. blackwood + boulder opal.
Curly koa + cocobolo + mother of pearl. Chatoyancy on this is wild!
Fuuuucccck…..me.
I took my briar burl unit out with me today. Let a friend use it. He doesn't vape but first hit was a success with some simple instructions. I can’t wait for what I actually ordered. That said, these are all gorgeous. I can’t say any of them are the best.
Anyone have any favorites?

Yeah baby thats the good stuff! That drop of pics will carry me over until it says it's in the post. For me the most scary part of the whole journey.

Yeah with the new EU VAT regulation, imports are getting problematic. If there's no proof that the VAT was pre-paid, they have to know the exact price of the product, and if they don't this is where they need to open the parcel to investigate... and where problems can begin when they realize what it really is. So it's best to not try to under-declare the real value.
But yeah on average, we have to expect to pay about 20% more than the rest of the world to get North American products now, making the total for a custom Nomad pretty salty....

This latest drop is so gorgeous. There are so many stunners in there. I'm pretty excited to get my toad, but these Nomad's are definitely a "You vs the guy she tells you not to worry about" situation

Awesome! Do you have any pictures to share? Interested to see what you got
Don't be afraid to use it. Wood ages very well and looks better with some patina and use, IMO. I have vintage wooden chess sets that are all banged up and well worn, but look absolutely stunning with the years of patina on them. Hell, some people even purchase new sets with "antique" / "distressed" finishing that basically mimics the decades of patina on actual vintage sets, and they pay more for that look.
With proper care and maintenance, your Nomad will just look better over time.

As the saying goes
If you want to go fast go alone,
If you want to go far go together.
And we've got a long way to go my friend.

I am somewhat photo handicapped , sorry. If you go to Dan's Instagram's Acct., @morwoodco , It's the 13th photo between the Spalted & the Briarwood as of 5/23/22. It's Afzelia Xylay with canary wood and lichen. I highly recommend his meticulous carrying case, it's a bespoke suit for your Nomad II .
