unfortunately gentlemen this project is too labor intensive to sell at a reasonable price. i turned the wood on a 70 year old lathe and everything was done by hand and eye. the chances of reproducing this piece many times and getting it right are slim (i basically got lucky the first try haha). the compliments are greatly appreciated though.
ill have to think about it. the first brand i made is a bit brittle now. it was only designed for a one time use. ill work something up that is a bit more sturdy and see how it works. ill make a new post if i can get good results. to be honest though i like the idea of having the only one of these... for now.
if you have a Wood Workers Warehouse near you, you can get wooden balls for afew bucks, just need to be drilled for the threaded insert and branded. not sure what type of wood it is though.
