Like I said in an earlier post; if it can be a KNack, it will be a KNack. This was made from a couple of blanks of deodar cedar I had lying around. Its about 38g. It features my latest response (drilled hole variant), which is smooth consistent and translates a good amount of power into the throw. ![20220306_181053](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/b/9/cb91c469765e99ff427517034415e9ce8599799a.jpeg) ![20220306_181115](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/0/5/705ca6d17187209e37ff8fb88da3c63784f4863e.jpeg) ---

Cool. I was talking about the body rather the axles though! I got a couple of fat beech or something dowels to use as a mattarello for making pasta a few years ago. One is 3’x3" and is just two thick to use, so I thought about chopping it into slices and turning them. Don’t have a lathe (yet) though. 🙂 ---
