Winegums' Woodcraft

[Hogni]

@Winegums never offered something out of ebony. Winegums always generally offers local woods. There were ebony stems/bodies directly offered by DV until autumn last year I mean. Those were changed to some kind of local 'dark wood' since this time.
Other mfr who offer ebony stems/bodies only are @phattpiggie and @primitiveorganic. Just look at my called pic collection to find them.

I do have some chunks of blackwood and Ebony but it’s a very limited supply from George that I recieved a while ago. Like @Hogni said I deal mostly with domestic woods which I have a large supply of.

I bought ebonite since it’s far more stable than black wood and comes in a wide range of sizes.

Here is an @Winegums ebonite piece.

@Winegums where you at?

@Winegums where you at?

I've been packing my things to get ready to move. It's been a busy start to 2019 for me.
Moving unfortunately means I'll have to leave behind the shop at my parents house and my woodworking will have to take a backseat. While I still have access to the shop, I won't be able to get as much done as I have previously.

Vaping hasn't inspired me to come up with any new designs and my creative attention has drifted towards my old flame which is music. I don't have as much reason to come to the forums as often as I have before. I see the same questions that I've answered many times over and get a burnt out feeling in my gut. As a result I haven't been checking in on things here as often.

I still love my Vapcaps, Mighty and Herbalizer which get used almost everyday but don't see a need to discuss them or mod them anymore than I already have.

I guess that's essentially where I'm at with things. Not gone, just quiet.

@Winegums do you! Things change! You’ve been an awesome member of our community and have left many of us with some great gear to cherish for YEARS. You should be proud. Keep your head up and if you need anything, don’t be afraid to holler at a Kid.

Dang brother, glad you are well!

Your work is fantastic! I still have a NEVER used #8 from you... It is so damn pretty, I always had it on display and never put any vapor through it.

Kind of a dead thread here but wanted to share my recent purchases in hopes that @Winegums might come around and see his creations are living on.

The first item is a walnut, no air port, 14mm taper, and lined with what appears to SS stem. Reading back through the thread it seems he used brass too. The stem has a very quality feel to it and I love the way the tip fits in and the O rings are concealed. I outfitted it with a TRWW mouthpiece/condenser and a 2019 SS tip and I’m very pleased with the way it turned out.

The second item is a maple XL stash. I believe this item was probably made in ‘17, so cutting edge for DV stuff at the time. Winegums did a wonderful job on this and handmade craftsmanship is all over it. It houses an XL and has a spot to fit a lighter and some herb.

Wow that stash is sick!
