As a music person, I started to think about how it resembles the dispersion of sound waves and also looks a little like a speaker cone. So… - Echo - Tweeter - Woofer Also, on a different note, my brain was in yoyo name mode and thought of the Rothyo, a Black walnut yoyo with wenge inlays. ⚫ ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/3/3/63396b2f81e1a14e78eb97121ee20212abfbd803.jpeg) ---

Charcoal would be a badass name if you lightly roasted your throws… mmm _ **Roasted Throws** _ (new company name recommendation), use bamboo charcoal somehow – also useful in the tastiest bread if you’re passing through Taiwan.

Note that you shouldn’t (possibly, can’t, legally) call it the Echo as that’s a Duncan model. ---

Tomorrow I’m going to make a series of fixies out of curly maple and red oak (and maybe another wood as well…). I’ll use the same organic shoulder curve, but vary the diameter, width, and outer face. Some will have a flat outer face and others with have cups of different sizes. I’m excited to play with the subtleties of weight distribution, and I’m pretty confident that it’ll turn out some fantastic players! ---

Keep me posted. I’m still interested in one with the organic shoulder curve (organic in general). Wood selection is not critical. Thank you. ---

I got carried away, so I didn’t actually finish any tonight.

I was considering doing this with the SW logo on my yoyos. Hand engrave it it with a dremel, put some glitter in there and the epoxy over the top. Finlally, turn and sand it flush.
