Thanks brother, you will be coming up soon. Did you still want me to skip the tip from the wood Peter sent for your pinch? I could go ahead and make it too, so it's ready when you are?
Thanks buddy. They are actually closer in color, but one is darker. As everyone knows, naturally Peter uses the best parts of the wood to make your mod, so all I get are the scraps. Usually I am lucky enough to find some goody in the scraps to pull out really good matches. But occasionally, I get the plain pieces with all the real figuring being on the mod portion. Though I thought your piece had just as much matching as I saw on the mod, so pretty sure your going to be happy when you see them in person. My pics just suck. I was really proud of how that nup nip turned out. Every nup nip or other shape (non cylinder) I have to hand cut with wood tools, so no two are every alike. I don't have a pattern or anything, so all are a little different. But I think all the tips in this batch turned out really nice and pleased. I just hope everyone else feels the same when they get them in. I always worry until they are safely in the hands of the recipient and hear positive news back on the match.Lookin good DJ
It's hard to believe those 2 on the right came from the same block. Then again, that particular mod does change quite a bit depending on the light and which side of the mod you're looking at.
Those resin cast amboyna burl tips for my li'l PUNCH sure came out Purdy!
Thanks again DJ, you do awesome work!![]()
I hope you don't get banned for that...where would get drip tips from?...ah..from You still......Thanks buddy.

My apologies, I thought that was a PM. Everyone that did see that, it was an accidental slip, but you now know what's coming down the pipe. Anyone wanting in, please PM your email. I've got to pay more attention to PM versus board posts....opps. I intentionally kept that off the forum as I won't compete with friends on ecf. Sorry again for posting that to the public thread. But definitely let me know if these items interest you.
The July/August hiatus was something I planned to mention here soon anyway. I've got to get my backstock finished and sold or I'm going to be hurt bigtime. That's the money for my new equipment which is going to let me devolope new products. I have several new ideas. My current mill is a headstock extension for my lathe. It hurts my back too much to swap, so not getting the learning/practice time I need to get good. So the new equipment will get me there.
Very embarrassed,
Jasen
