VR Wood Mods bottom feeders kiwi style

[Nboprc]

Element sorry to here that really would have liked to see that come to life as a beutiful mod. So maybe one day their will be a block that strikes you at the right time. Can't wait to see the progress on the wall mod.

Looks like my hunks-o-wood I mailed Vaughan are lost somewhere in New Zealand....unbelievable....

Maybe they should check the forest. They may have gone to visit relatives. Really hope this gets sorted out.

Vaughan is trying to track them down...the last message from USPS was "Out for delivery" in New Zealand... Oct 5th.

Very sorry to hear that inspects and I certainly feel your pain. Lost a nice block myself even though USPS was showing it delivered to my box. It sucks when you have your face set for something only to be let down by inefficiency. Sometimes our postal system is a crap shoot at best...

It has been found, they need to pass on some info now so we can get it out of customs, so happy it isn't lost! Loopy's brass is moving very slowly, they must have sent it sea freight or something. That's the worst thing about being tucked away on the bottom of the earth!

Another reason to plan early if using your own blocks.

The brick again, this shape is 'just off the wall', rounded but still 'blocky'. The delrin caps are great, polishes to black gloss, and as strong and stable as possible without being solid metal. I have coated the inside with marine epoxy, and it has worked out so well that this will be the standard internal finish from now on. It is full gloss and at around .25mm thick is perfectly juiceproof.

Ready for finish tomorrow.

WOW, just WOW!

love the side squonk hole too!

 

[distortoblotto]

Yep, I dig the corner squonk port as well.

Vaughan, is the plan to start offering these? If so, I may just have to change my thoughts for the next one although I'm still thinking jellybean.

I have to agree with Blue Snake.....

The Brick is out is this world.

If I do it once I can do it again, and the process is the same (except for the prep on the blank). I am thinking of other designs to laminate too, buckeye burl laminated blanks would be wild...

I'm going to end up in the poor house if you keep this up Vaughan.

Thanks Vaughan, food for thought. What would the block dimensions need to be for the brick?

 

[distortoblotto]

Here's a nice block for somebody...right size too.

 

[distortoblotto]

This one is fricken amazing! ( expensive though)

Flipside...

Same guy as the block I posted, the most vibrant colors I've seen, that one is a bit too purple for me, but it is gorgeous non the less.

I'm trying to get a hold of him and maybe stop by his place next trip home to Georgia.
He is in Macon

Sort'a already knew. Didn't want to burst your bubble when you were trying to snag the other one...

Thinking it would look incredible with double silver and a black stripe.
