Looks very new!
These two Freehand Zeros are currently en route to Buddy Jim. Black is a very unforgiving color, but it turned out very nicely. I feel like Iām getting a bit better at polishing the faces after cutting. (Click on the pictures for full size)

Very cool! hows it play
?
It is a bit light (I might estimate it to be around 50-55 grams) and it has some vibe to it, but overall it is still a fun yo-yo. Itās beauty is up there too, which is a bonus.
Would it be possible to see what it looks like on the inside?
I really like how you finished it. It really brought out the beauty in the wood.

Simple amazing, inside and out. No cutting corners anywhere. Silicone recessed I assume?
Keeping it solid helped keep the weight up. The design is simple and elegant. it almost reminds me if the Agape went wood!
Iād say if there was a way you could install a brass weight ring on the outer rim or somewhere on the outside to get it up to like 64+ grams, that thing would be killer. As is, itās still a fine looking piece of work.
Thatās one of the things the new āmakersā of wood yoyos have been missing: the finish. Rub some stain on their and bring out the wood!
This is just a tease for what is to come.

Zombie rims?
Reminds me of a corked bottle top. The wood is beautiful though. I can envision you carving that wood to keep the lines flowing from the rings.
Reminds me of the jamboo. I would be interested in getting one if you decide to sell them.
Hereās what she looks like finished:

Specs: 59.0mm diameter, 46.7mm width, 65g (guestimated), 4.6mm gap
Mods done: Zombie rims chopped and parted from donor yo-yo. Bearing seat salvaged from the same donor Zombie. Hub was custom made out of padauk. Then everything was polished until it shined.
How does she play?
Looks awesome!
Without being tuned, this thing wobbles more than any dubstep track. Tuned well (a feat in itself because this thing is pretty temperamental) it just has a pulsating vibe. It wonāt win any awards for smoothness, but it is completely playable when tuned.
wubwubwub! isshot

Do you have any more mods or creations to show us?
