Have been dabbling in titanium lately and wondered what other weird material throws people have. I know of magnesium, brass, and copper can be used but what else it out there?
Edit: I would consider anything not wood or aluminum to be “exotic”

That is the most aggressive V shaped piece of glue I have ever seen.

I’m not really sure if it would be considered exotic but the original Japan Technology Arrows was made out of duralumin. It’s a type of aluminium that contains copper and magnesium in it. If you’d consider the OG Yeti exotic for using glass infused plastic then this is similarly exotic.

You can browse through his other albums but Eric has used some unique wood in his turnings

Saw this display at Lucky’s and thought of this thread.
Sorry for the glare, a zoom will reveal some interesting materials.

Finished this leather yo-yo with some accent stripes this weekend. Still trying to dial in the gap width, but plays pretty well at least for the basic stuff I can do.
Specs:
Weight = 50.13g
Width = 38.4mm
Diameter = 56.48mm

I feel pretty sad at the moment.
I made the Perfect H shaped Crumbcake yoyo last night.
To celebrate my miracle, I got a big mug of cold milk and ate the yo-yo this morning before checking the forum.

Something exotic that I have seen is the Turning Point on Fist Salud website, where it is 24k plated Titanium with Swarovski. Wish I have extra 2k to drop on this.
