Love the desk caddies. Would love to see a modern/contemporary styled one.

Not exactly. I mean it could contain all of that but doesn't have to. Here are some examples.

Clean, simple lines, etc

Think this may have some better examples.

Ahoy all, happy Sunday to ye!

I think PVD affects a lot of people over 65, usually a single eye only though, very rare for both eyes to get zapped like this

---
The style of the desk caddies is more or less a compromise between some style and functionality. I don't want to waste wood for embellishments that would drive up the cost of making them and not serve a purpose.

I am going to have to raise the prices of them soon due to the jump in wood prices here, but I still manage to offer a solid hardwood (Cherry wood currently) for the same price that others are selling for painted plywood caddies.

I like the current design, the only way to make it more "Modern" would be to add complications to the build process that would drive up cost, but more importantly exponentially drive up time to make. He'd get a diminishing return on that investment of time.

All my mods and atties and drip tips are neatly arranged in my 2 caddies, but what they cannot do is to turn a messy Trunker into a tidy one, so the rest of my desk still looks like a bomb site and i like it!

They look great!

 

[aidreon]

I like the idea that faithful crew members following this thread can be given a heads up on the coming batch before they hit the website. Thanks for that Cappy
I see some Macassar Ebony used for the body there, great news you're back to using that wood, it really is an awesome looking wood. I'm lucky enough to have a Destroyer 12 from the period you had some, may still be my favorite mod today

PS: Oh and that dark Ziricote... and that Flame Box, I'm sure they'll look incredible once finished! Damn actually I really love like 99% of that batch!!

 

[debinnv]

Congrats to whomever got African mahogany with Canary wood. You beat me. This is what I get for napping

They are all really gorgeous Cap't Awesome job!

Sorry for your loss but not sorry for my gain I had instant update via email set for this thread since cappy said he was going to post pics. So I jumped on it as soon as email came across my phone.

 

[debinnv]

Heh heh, sneaky little devil. But as I said CONGRATS. She is a beauty but so are the others and there is another I picked Well that is if it has not sold before Cap't gets my pm. Honestly, I would probably take any of them.

Hi privateers, marblewood solid is fantastic. 26650 dna20s are also really exciting mods. Won't get my love boat this time, however I'm much closer to pulling the jib on one of your swift mods cap.
26650 dna30 sounds like the warship i've dreamt of. All excellence in pics

 

[Capt' Brian]

Ahoy!

I'm afraid the DNA30's won't be something I make at this time, not until they prove to have a stable/safe history. I'm also not making the mods as fast or in the large batches as I used to make, but the next batch will probably be in around 3 months? Sorry, old age and infirmities catching up with me and I'm just a one man shop

I'm afraid some of these are probably one of a kind. That was my last piece of ebony and marblewood and they have dried for the last year and I felt they were ready to use. I got some ebony before that wasn't dried properly and they all shrank! Remember that? what a nightmare. I like to use proven stable wood, even if that denies some people their 'dream' mod. I do have more ziricote though, so you will be seeing more of them.

arrr

#1 Mine....... Happy dance

 

[Capt' Brian]

Destroyer DNA 20, #4 - Brazilian Imbuia body with Koa side panels is really nice and my favorite of this batch. I'll have to save up for the next batch. Looking good Capt'.
