I know what was going through my head when I wrote that!!!!
("I'll make a folder in pho-buck to show Vwls some wood samples", I said to myself)
Girl wood.
Howdy, MofN! If I recall, it's Elder Burl, dyed and stabilized.

Your design and craftsmanship of your mods is absolutely stunning. NICELY DONE!
So nice that I may have to reconsider the design on my BFs...
Congrats on your success my friend!

Did I just see some funny looking orangutan come bounding through here?

Size, well, let's see. Not counting the button; at it's thickest it's usually just a snigglin' under 1 1/32", it's widest is 1 15/16", and it's about 3 1/2" tall (unless you hold it way up high, over your head . . . . then it's taller).
SO . . . . . .
Here's an option for anyone ordering/"getting-on-the-list"-ing a mod. The 510+ post (which is also the juice feed tunnel and the nutted connection for the beryllium copper (BeCu) leaf contact) will be available in Stainless Steel (SS) or Brass (Brass) . . . . . I'm fabricating these myself. The brass offers better conductivity, and is easier to machine. I treat it (after all machining is done) in a solution of 2pts Vinegar and 1pt Hydrogen Peroxide. This removes any trace of surface lead, and it's been pretty well established that this is an effective process and that lead doesn't "migrate" or "leach" through brass. Whatever lead is on the surface got there because of the machining process. The SS is more time consuming for me, and doesn't have particularly good conductivity. However, the SS is more durable, less susceptible to tarnish, and probably has plenty conductivity for the average vaper.
You (all) may choose, as your specifications are finalized. At this juncture, they will cost the same. In the future, at my whim, I may charge a few bucks more for SS. If you really don't care, please specify brass. If you really do care, I don't . . . .. BUT . . . . do share.
Also, to be known hereforth, by all concerned parties . . . .. The copper plate is harder to machine, easier to FUBAR, and a bit more costly to me. For this first batch, there is no difference in cost to you (y'all). In the future, I may charge a few dollars for "the copper option".
We'll see . .. . .
much love . . ..
tah-tah . . ..,

so... is ...... on it extra, or is that included?

i am tempted to get a fubar copper option for HRH with uncleaned brass for a bit of lead poisoning - but in future i may have to pay more for it - is that the gist of it?
She'll be delighted!
"yes - but Dibby made - who are you anyway?"

that's for me to know . . . . ..
(no, ...... on is reserved for another beloved brand of mod)
I'm surprised dibbers is making you pay anything at all, Trunks!
HRH will get her copper, fo' sho'.
