Arrr, too quiet, what are ye scallywags up to? I don't like it when it's so quiet below decks, I smells mutiny brewin'
Well, maybe a bit o' porn will kick up a bit o' noise?
Getting ready to be put in the drying rack. Btw, I use cardboard boxes like this to keep from dinging up the wood while I work on them, and it's cheap.

I don’t think you’ll ever have to worry about a mutiny, your our Captain for life! This pirate would rather look at pics like this more than a treasure chest, because that’s just what it be. arrr
I'm sure it will play well with my yellow destroyer. That Curly Koa D2...... Can't wait till she pulls into port. That green one still making my trigger finger itch.

That’s a great looking one also, who am I kidding they all look great. Congrats, you weren’t joking about opening a museum for RSM mods. I’m picking up the black walnut/gabon ebony Destroyer II and getting Cappy to inlay the Jolly Roger on it.
I truly believe, that with this new design with the color contrast scheme, will make for a plethora of color and wood pattern possibilities while keeping cost down by buying scales and not blocks. I could be wrong. But it's just a rant because this batch is just so purdy.
How is everyone doing? I have not posted much but i keep up with the thread daily.. I just pm'd Cappy about the green door cutlass 2, if it is available it will be mine..

Well, part of that is true I hope, they are prettier than ever imho.
Unfortunately, I could buy large planks of exotic wood big enough to make a dozen mods out of for the price of just one of the knife scales I am using. I am going to try to limit the price increase by using less exotic wood for the body to offset the cost of the knife scales which are costing between $15 to $34 per set (one mod) so far.
I talked about being advised to raise prices last week, but I have decided to veto that and keep the base price the same.
A year and a half ago when I started there were just a few of us wood mod makers battling it out for your attention, but there are over a dozen now and more every month it seems, so I think it is more important now than ever to offer the best mod I can make, at a very competitive price and also offer the best innovations that I can cram into a box as small as I can make!
The base price of the Cutlass & Destroyer will stay $179 and I add the extra cost of wood and options to the price if it is over the limit I have set, basically the extra price of the panel wood. I don't need a huge profit to stay in business, but I do have to pay the bills from month to month and as you know I always cut it pretty fine.

Thanks! And don't forget honest and brave! I actually always try to speak honestly, it is way to hard to try to keep track of lies, fabrications and blatant B.S., and ego is never a problem when your working for about 6 bucks an hour, yo ho!
Suddenly, the itch is gone, but the thrill of the hunt still burns.
Ok "dibs" LOL.. I have been eyeballing that one since the first pics a few days ago.. Rtrain just pushed me over the edge.. Cappy got back to me, so yeah the green one is mine!

I like that idea a lot, more affordable means more people can buy. I also like the idea of the preorder web site, that’s where buyers can pony up the money to get a higher priced and more exotic mod.
