It's like my scrap wood and your beautiful instrument are two peas in a pod. The knob is walnut from my parents kitchen cabinets and maple from my kitchen window trim. Your instrument looks like a maple center with some awesome dark mahogany sides. That is one attractive instrument.

Maple-walnut neck-through Claro walnut body. |
Going to close the thread but have to ask a question... Just WHAT does a Hebi Bebi feel like that they sell for $300 (!!) in a single day?!?!? I swear I just approved this ad this morning!!
I know they're popular but.. Must feel like a nice set of ummmm no idea, looks a little nicer than your ebay special. But its it's cooler engraving. That last one I made fits my hand like nothing else and I still would have been hard pressed to spend more then $25 for it. |
Have you attempted to make a weighted one? Some how put it between the wood maybe?
|
No haven't tried to add a weight, I did have an idea of making one out of concrete countertop mix I bet that wouldn't be light weight... Haven't done it yet though.
|
Make one out of marble scraps lol
After you figure out what shape is best with wood. I'm sure you could experiment with cool rocks |
beautiful work

|
Of all of the ones you've made from wood the walnut and red maple definitely looks by far the best, just a shame there's not much weight to it. Have you tried getting hold of any Ironwood? That stuff is heavy and tough, plus its a nice color too.
