Went out for a wee hours walk and stopped by my mailbox to collect the newest addition to my Reo family that was delivered today. Another Woodvil 18650. Quick picture of it, and an updated picture of all my current Reo's.

Thanks drago/PapaPimp...

You're slipping Papa... the picture was up for over a half hour before you chimed in. ;)

Actually, Oriential symmetry dictates things in odd numbers, not even, and they are experts at natural beauty IMO. But you are right, I do want a LP Mini TRA or similar. Have been toying with the idea of stripping the Copper Vein Mini since it was almost black when i got it and I then learned it cannot be restored without taking it back to aluminum and applying a new CV finish. Giving it a brushed finish would be similar to a TRA. Reminds I really need to get some clear coat for the new LP Grand Silver Vein, and the VVG Silver Vein that has still not turned black. I'm not using either of them right now though (too much wood in the house now LOL). The Woodies and LP Grand TRA will see the most use.

What's that atty, 3rd from the right - small, curved, with a glass tip???
I'm always looking for under-22 atties...

Thanks all for your comments.... :cool:

Excellent start. I think that Woodvil collection needs some burls and birds eye maples in it. I also notice only 3 kinds of RBAs.

Four kinds in the picture... R-L... Atomic, VA Cyclone, IGO-S and the rest both standard and LP RM2's. I have a brand new Infinite CLT modded to bf by CH as well as the Atomic he did, but I'm not going to use the CLT for sure, maybe not the Atomic either and will eventually sell one or both of them.

Lots of luck getting the high end Woodvil's, I would if I had the chance.

IGO-S

Looks like a Black Palm door. Hang onto that I don't think they'll be made anymore.

The door is Wenge, not Black Palm.

Looks like an Igo-BF to me

What I want to know is how you mounted the RM4 to the VV Grand.

It's not, the Atomic is just sitting on top for the picture.

BTW, I confirmed what I had told the seller I thought the included atty was from the ad picture of this Woodie. It is a smok Mini/Squid RDA that has been modded to BF with two 5/64th's air holes drilled for dual coils (it is NOT an ERA). Seller also tossed in a used but not abused LP Nickel RM2 and an Atomic DT that took some of the sting out of the price paid for the Woodie.

The Walnut & Wenge Woodie itself is in mint condition, but appears to have a gloss spray polyseal finish on it. So I will probably knock the finish down and give it several hand rubbed coats of a finish I make myself from scratch for a nice soft satin sheen instead. My finish is waterproof, non toxic and tough as nails. Want to do hand rubbed finishes to the other Woodies too while I am at it.
