That makes me even more excited! I love when wooden yoyos have a bit of heft to them. Good luck with the rest of the project! ---

Thank you! I’m aiming for somewhere between 50-55g, but we’ll see where the wood takes me. ---

Are you going to try both orientations for spectraplay, or is this the one you’ve settled on? I like that this orientation has a bit of a throwback aesthetic to the BC Apollo/Lightning. ---

I’m at least going to start with this orientation, since it’s less likely to have tear out problems. I also think I like the look of this orientation better anyway. Some sort of slanted, diagonal orientation would be cool too but I think it would result in a lot of wasted material and it’s pretty expensive to start with. ---

They all look great, but the pattern/grain on the brown one in the bottom middle is absolutely gorgeous. 😱🤩😍 ---

That one is leopardwood, and it’s going to @RC_yo-yo 😁. It really is a great looking wood. @Woozie , these spectras are on track to be around 53-54 grams. ---

That’s kinda the goldilocks weight. Not too light and not too heavy. The recess adds a nice detail. If there’s a waiting list, sign me up. ---

Long story short, I messed up the edge on the recessed blue/white spectra one. After I fixed it and changed shape, it ended up closer to 50 g. ---

Having seen killer wood work in this forum, i wanted to post this as a really inspiring use of spectraply type material… ![DSC_0342](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/d/2/ad2e8ecce86e18ec157226302ec50ca8b43d0bbb.jpeg) No pressure, lol! I would or course be interested in something like this but wing shaped, fixie and or bearing, in multipe orientations of diferent color spectraply sections in each pie slice, wink wink. ---

That’s a really cool use of the spectraply. What that disc in the center? It almost looks like paper or cardboard. Edit- never mind… the lights were playing tricks on me. It’s metal. ---

Its a metal axle peice for a ball bearing seat, the wood is well manufactured but it has lots of vibe for a bearing setup, much more than even a decent fixie. This is from a woodshop i found on the interwebs, not a yoyo maker per se… ---

You could call it the Frankenstein’s Monster. And laser tech some stitch marks to “hold” the pieces together. ---
