Kaytrim's Kustoms Back in Action
Donkey_Kong:
Looking good man. White Gold, awesome name. ;D
Can't wait to see these done. I like the slimmer profile of your new sticks vs the first one. Do you have artwork planned for white gold?
patrickl:
If you plan on selling these, maybe the finish needs to be a bit more professional?

As mentioned Pat this one is a work in progress. I had some major mistakes on this paint job that are not shown here. I intend to redo the paint before I list White Gold for sale.

These newer sticks are using the Japanese Sanwa and Seimitsu parts which are about half the size of the Happ parts yet they are more than twice the price, go figure. :dunno A set of controls for these sticks will run $60-70 including shipping. A set of Happs parts will run $25-$35 with shipping.
As far as artwork for White Gold I have nothing in the plans as of yet for artwork. I think that something simple is called for here. Parts for this box are on order.

I should have final pics of these two WIP soon. Both boxes had to go back for painting several times. I am calling Blanka done with paint, I am just waiting on the artwork. 'White Gold' is giving me more problems with paint then I bargained for. I am not going to give up though and hope to have it done and ready for pics early next week.

Ok folks I am still waiting on the artwork for the Blanka stick. Instead I started my first real hardwood box.
Here it is after glue up. I plan on rounding the edges because the corners are quite sharp.
I originally thought that this was Pakauk but after a little research I discovered that what I have here is called Lacewood. Here is a closeup to see the grain and texture.
