In my experience the denser woods tend to have more uniform density. Woods like purple heart and harder. Also try to use wood without knots or other deformities. Otherwise it’s all in the symmetry. Bocote is my favorite to work with. It can even be polished without anything on it to a nice shine. ---

If you intend to turn wooden unresponsives you need to make them with a minimum tolerance of .01mm and make sure that the wood you have has perfect density. You also need to be able to mount the half you have made for second operation also at a tolerance of about .01mm. You also need to prepare for something like one in four turn out OK. I would also ask yourself why, other than doing it for personal growth, as they also just don’t perform very well unless they are huge. In other words, it’s incredibly difficult thing to turn on a wood lathe. I wouldnt bother, but its up to you. ---

I don’t have a FH1, so I don’t know how well I could recreate it, but I’m going to try the ol unresponsive challenge again today. ---

Your first unresponsive is very close to a FH1 shape. Anywhere near a 57mm diameter, 38 width. Also if anyone is interested, Eric Wolf still has all of his pictures up. One day I’ll finally pull the trigger on a lathe and join you guys. > **[Public Home | Eric Wolff | Fotki.com, photo and video sharing made easy.](https://public.fotki.com/YoEric/)** > > photos of Eric Wolff: Public Home - ![IpeandBrass1pic1-vi](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/d/a/cda98a5d8c9ec217d276074341363f3593637f0d.jpeg) ![IpeandBrass1pic3-vi](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/5/2/e52c360fec65f0fc6d08b2e0e85fee85d61704c3.jpeg) ![IpeandBrass1pic4-vi](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/8/0/b80dee3a033054996c8ba1cee07845a6bae55f41.jpeg) ![5441290A-A76B-43C5-B540-38B57080009E](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/1/6/516ea0eee86851a5ce014986228c0a860d516edd.jpeg) ![GoncaloAlvesFly1pic3-vi](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/4/9/d4997f7f4b73580467a03f4c432e74d5d9d36111.jpeg) ![GoncaloAlvesFly1pic4-vi](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/7/6/a76e1ea5332197587c5febf9912dde7abd1a2cbf.jpeg) ![MiniOsageOrangeSilverFlypic1-vi](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/d/9/cd9ea49ba4139f1ee96ea95c91889b47396d8f82.jpeg) ![OOVelocity1pic2-vi](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/a/2/5a2fb1d2024c3e6d332bc56bc5acb484a655be8d.jpeg) ![SilkenRose1pic1-vi](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/4/2/342d5be7229f12ab0f7b2e25b2350aac6ecb7d00.jpeg) ![NewCocobolo1pic1-vi](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/6/7/f6700b945d72098fdf31058ef445e7bb45407399.jpeg) ![NewCocobolo2pic1-vi](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/c/4/cc46ce97e36d907322d18629295d50950adb7a16.jpeg) ![NewCocobolo2pic3-vi](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/2/c/52cd69d8d80d553c0b1b26c730963a5de3ad77f0.jpeg) ---

I don’t have much experience here but only one of the 3 tk sleep machines i have is kinda smooth, its the laminated wood version with holo stamp. The black and white painted ones are really vibey and even the costructon seems a litt lackluster where the adustable bearing seat axle setup compared to the laminatd one. ---
