Yes, it’s laminated poplar and red oak. A very cool idea because you have the denser oak wood out wide and the soft poplar on the inside. The poplar gives great response and the denser oak acts as crude ‘rim weight’. It works really well. ---

I’ve got an older Orphan, back before the days of a/Rt. I sold my new Orphan so can’t compare again. But my og is slightly wider, and was just slightly larger in diameter as well. Gap was the same. I always wanted a painted one, like the gold one Jensen had. I asked him about it, and he just gave it to Paul Dang. Been after Paul to sell it to me ever since :joy: On topic here though, I’ve been playing my maple Sullivan a lot this week, really love that yoyo. ---

I don’t know… I feel like I shouldn’t be messing around with yo-yos we’re selling. And I don’t really want to take the time to lineup 3 more engravings on 1 half haha, it would probably just be uneven or look messed up. ---

I LIKE it messed up. But the setup part I understand fully. I forgot what you said before about the difficulty getting each unique half properly mounted and engraved. Nevermind I GUESS. **huff puff puff** ---

Plus if I say yes to you I’ll have to say yes to everyone else asking for engravings. No is better for now. We have talked about setting up some sort of custom engraving option in the future though! ---

Can anyone tell me about this one?

I hardly imagine it could return reliably or shoot the moon with a gap like that. How does it perform in general? ---
