Yarr, pirates gots to be careful about that, lest ye get splinters in yer tongue! Not to mention yer peg might develop wood rottt...
........................
Me three!!
I asked if the Capt' would set one aside for me, but I never got an answer... I didn't realize that he only made four of them... (I thought there were 8 - ha!!)
Who know?? Maybe I'll get lucky and win 2nd Place... after all, I got Lucky Post #13!!!
<crosses fingers>
Yeah, I planned on keeping one and giving the other two away as prizes. I will give the last away in the Independence day contest. Perhaps I will make a few more just for prizes, they aren't cost effective for sales, take too much time.
Ohhh Taz, as I was taking pictures of your mod I realized I put the Zebra ends on it instead of the Wenge. When I build these I automatically put them together the way that looks best, and apparently the Zebra wood looked better than the Wenge to me.
I must admit that these might be the prettiest 4 mods that I have done yet. There are imperfections in the wood on your mod, but seeing how its B&W ebony you have to appreciate the worm holes and flaws as other builders will tell you, and cherish the chips, one could hardly afford to do otherwise, lol
This is right before it gets final edging and sanding, after that is a coat of finish then the electronics.
The way the two sides matched up is outstanding, damn it is pretty.
Yo ho !
This is one of the most beautiful yet. Just when I thought they couldnt get better. Like the rout on it too. Know what these are gonna sell for yet?
Here are the two winners, congrats and hope you enjoy the booty!
The winner of the Box mod is Salemgold with post #22
2nd place winner of the Hardwood voltage display and DMM is Brutus Buckeye for post #68

Yeah, except for this contest I've spent the day loafing around the ship, not doing much of anything. Back to work tomorrow, arrr
Not sure, I try to balance keeping the prices low as I can and still make it worthwhile to make all these. I would guesstimate around 150 to 175. The piece of B&W ebony I used for this one for example tacks 25 bucks onto the sale price just to pay for the wood, so I will price them according to cost of materials as well as time ofc.
Congratz to the winners!!
Though I wish Salemgold had waited 15 minutes longer to post.
Thanks for the fun, and entertaining contest Brain!!
