If you are interested, I can make a Harbinger for you in a variety of woods of your choice (scroll down for options). The Harbinger is a fixed axle wooden yoyo that is well worth it if you are a fixed axle lover. It’s a great perfomer with an excellent play feel.
Below is an example to give you an idea of the shape.
Here are your wood options:
Light weights (from left to right)
Rock maple 50-52g
Tasmanian oak 50g
Australian blackwood 40-42g
Walnut 44g.
Medium weights (from top to bottom)
Zebrawood 56g
White oak 55-58g
Merbau 58-62g
Kapur 58g.
Heavy weights (from top to bottom)
With any of these woods expect the weight to be between 66-72g.
Jarrah
spotted gum
purpleheart
wenge.
All Harbingers are fitted with a 7mm axle of the same wood as the body. This give each a unique play feel, but you can specify what species you would like the axle to be if you prefer.
All ship in a jute bag with a Spinworthy sticker.
They are $50 shipped to the the US or Canada.
Purpleheart, zebrawood, and wenge are $60 shipped to the US or Canada.
Where are you located, in the states? I have been looking for somebody who can make yo-yos to make one out of Burl for me, I am pretty handy myself, I make slingshots and fixed blade knives, and really want a maple Burl Yoyo to go with one of my matching sets I made for myself. If somebody was to ship you some wood they wanted a yo-yo made out of would you be willing to work on it?
