[Capt' Brian]

the door on my Choco feels super tight tonight. I remember it made it better after I put some feed-n-wax. I've been holding it alot on my hand obviously and I don't know what to clean it with. Is there something I can use to clean or should I just do Feed-N-Wax? I have no knowledge what so ever on this part of the world.

If you want a deep cleaning you can use mineral spirits and then Feed & wax, or just windex on a cloth and then Feed & wax it. Some hard wax on the inside of the door rails might make it slide easier. Tight is good, but not too tight so that it gets stuck.

The base color of marble woods seems so different from one to the other...
My Choco must be the darkest so far, and I love the way it looks bit aged although I kind of wished at first it had more glow to it. But now when I look at it it's just perfect for me.

it's actually even more brown than the picture...

then this one in current batch~

From the base color it just looks like different wood altogether.

and this was another one just before my batch, which also looks pretty amazing

It's really interesting that every one of them is so unique all the way. I love that we have a few marblewood RSM owners now all looking totally one of a kind. At the same time, I would probably even believe if someone told me these were all different woods, probably becaue of the color variation.

Were they all done with same type of finish cappy?

Arrr, yup, they all get the same type of finish. I currently have 5 different pieces of Marblewood that I cut boxes from, some are lighter in color with straighter lines, some a bit darker and have a pattern more like zebrawood, one piece reminds me of B&W ebony in its pattern but its dark brown instead of black stripes. Also most of the pics I take seem to make the mods looks brighter/lighter in color than they are in natural light.

I do it by request anymore when working with the high-end exotics, it's not adding visually to the beautiful wood anymore, but some people still want one of some type.

Here you go Ed, #447, Purpleheart & Yellowheart as I recall. Haven't you looked at Cappy's gallery on his website? It's truly amazing when you think Cappy has been building mods for just a handful of months. A master!

Arrrr, I love this part, still a few more small details to finish, but they are ready for unveiling, yo ho!

Does this batch have a different shape or is it the angle in the photos? They look like they are skinnier at the bottom and kind of angle up to the top.

 

[emonty]

yes, I have seen all, more the once......mine more then all ;-)

I'm sure that's just the photos.
I think cappy's camera does that little more than other cameras though.
Is that a notebook cam? They do that alot.

Brian
First let me say, and I think I speak for all the regulars, dont EVER think you cant walk away for a few days if you need too. There will be no mutiny, there will be no decention, there will only be camaraderie as we wait for the captain to return.

My condolences to you my friend. My prayers will go out to you and our family. I hope you know your more than some random mod builder to alot of people here.

Cappy. What Ruppy said. I for one could not have said it any better. Well wishes Capt'.

Okay, I was thinking about names and came up with Phoenix (cause of the flame box elder - thanks Tierrataz!) or Nix as a short version. I'm sure there are other fire creatures I can't think of. I'm a terrible namer! It takes me forever!

Me too. I'm definitely going to need some help when the time comes...should be only a couple of days now!

 

[Lazerrred]

I still like Marley.

@ Chet. That's the cool thing about wood. If you think about it, trees are as individual as humans. We, and the wood that comes from the trees are all different.
