Had this beast for awhile now.
PS/PS2 cords with full Seimitsu joystick and buttons.
I’m really thinking of swapping them out for Sanwa. Mainly just the joystick itself.
If he’s got 700, then I would hope a few of them are playing with that chick in his av.
Custom for Evelgest, Bloodwood and Maple Combo.

lol u guys are bad
Beautiful dovetails, SteveTren
Super ill, as usual steve. You know that bloodwood reminds me of mahogany for some reason man! But I bet it has more density, eh??
Thanks! Yes the Bloodwood weights a ton and it has a bright ruby red appearance which the pictures don’t show. It might be my new favorite wood.
Awesome job as usual with that stick. I really like the mixed wood combinations that you come up with!
Yeah I tried using some of that stuff a while ago and it is DENSE! So dense in fact that it chipped all to hell because my router bits weren’t sharp enough to route it. You did a very nice job working with this wood sir!
Thanks! Yea, I have to diamond sharpen my router bits to a razors edge to prevent the chipping on most exotic hardwoods.
I used to do a lot of work with Argentinian Lignum Vitae. Its probably the most dense wood in the world…it SINKS IN WATER.
It is a true tool ruiner. I had to sharpen my hand planes literally twice or three times during a small job and I was only making custom bokken for my fellow Iaido students. The upside is that this stuff is so hard, a bokken will last for YEARS. I was putting my Lignum bokken up against hard maple bokken and the hard maple would shatter, and the lignum was not even dented. :wow:
So yeah, I feel your pain on the demands of working with dense exotics.
Who is that chick anyway?
Just joined today to post this up! I’ve been lurking for a while though. Please take care of me!
Original art done by yours truly:



That’s the barcode for the stick itself, straight from the box, located under the turbo. Those black shiny accents on the side are from a paint marker I used to cover up scratches.
im overall happy with the outcome.
