Ft's response to lt:

-what grade of brass do you use for your new drip tips?

Is shiny kind of brass.

- is it naval brass?

We rub brass in belly button, yes. Is OK? You buy now.

LOL The drip tip is just dirty from chapstick I've had some serious wind chapped lips for a few days and haven't cleaned it. It's a purple heart. Has a beautiful reddish note to the wood.

Purpleheart is a wood that will change colors over time and UV exposure. It can turn to mostly brown.

Howard's Feed & Wax made with UV protection- Sunshield, is great for this and other woods. You can find it local at stores like Home Depot or Lowe's. Also I get mine at Amazon. I use it inside and out on all my wood REO's.

Its from Drip Tip Designz - Drip Tip Designz It's a custom one you can email him and ask for anything you want. Very very nice guy that owns it. I just need the REO and RM2 to age a bit to match the tip then it'll be perfect.

I ordered two of the shorty brass, with black filled "rings" from him. He shipped out really fast. Should be here soon. I asked for one polished and one brushed. Hoping he saw the request on Paypal. If not I can polish or brush one to my liking. But, from all his great praises from ECF peeps, I'll bet they come as requested.

Brass DTs used to be virtually impossible to get until very recently. I aquired 3 X 801 brass DTs; one from classies long ago and Ratman gifted me two Thanks my friend. I'm keeping one as 801 and hoping I can appeal to some generous peeps to mill down the other two to 510 size. Ratman will get one of those.
