Project - VOLTECH Arcade Sticks

Good to know! I might buy the NAUSB soon. Any update on pricing and when selling? Seriously can’t wait for this.

Just a little update to what I’ve been doing.

Black and white 2 tone Lacquer finish

Stained Poplar - Red Mahogany I have 3 of these (On Hold)

Maple - Dyed Black (SOLD)

Poplar - Piano Black (SOLD)

More pics here

I just scored a pallet of poplar end cuts. So I grabbed some Ebony, Cherry and Rosewood stains, anybody interested? Don’t worry I’ll post pics when their done. I also picked up some exotic woods ie Zebra, Wenge, Purple heart and Pau Ferro that I want to make some cases with. I didn’t get a whole lot, just enough to make one of each. This stuff is expensive and toxic to work with so the pricing will reflect this but it will be around what others are charging. Even though I think my cases offer a little more being as versatile as they are.

And a few of my clients finished cases

:karate:

Ok I’ve got a few more wood types to work with. I’ve come across some exotics, bamboo and a whole pallet of mixed poplar from very pale to pink to green. The exotics from left to right are Pau Ferro, Purple Heart and Wenge.

Zebra wood

Bamboo

Pink striped Poplar

These will be made into my Universal 12"x8"x3" cases (That means that Happ Competition, Perfect 360, Sanwa, Siemitsu, Crown and Fanta sticks will work with this case design). No paints stains or dyes just a clear lacquer finish to retain the beauty of the wood.

someone wanna tell me where to find exotic lumber in nyc?!

im really jealous man… wish I could score some nice lumber like yours

lookin good btw

Voltech, man these sticks are a work of art. I’m buying a TE this month but you can expect a purchase from me next month man. Quick question though, how much extra for you to paint the wood? I’m asking because this will be my first stick project and I really don’t want to screw it up.

^^ Please see my Trading post for details on pricing FYI I don’t use paints, I use lacquers, stains and dyes.

Good to hear you’re making a comeback.

Dude. Rediscovering your work was a joy and actually meeting you by passing though was awesome. I’m a fan of your work all over again.

Hi George.
