The one on the left is white maple with duncan guts. The one on the right is oak with pgm guts and I used black gasket maker to fill in the tops for extra weight. and it holds in the nuts. Also the counter weight is maple. Just some fun ;D ---

They play great these are the first to not wobble. My next will be out of purple heart and I was thinking of doing something like the rainbow yoyo. I figure if I glue single layers of colored plywood and then spin them. I want to color the ply with certified color ( vegetable or food coloring) even hair color like manic panic. As long as I give it a good coat of spar varnish the colors wont bleed. ---

I would not want a purple heart splinter. That wood is mean. Smooth it down to 400 and some type of shiny coating to really set it off.
