I made this leather yo-yo and it works very well to my surprise. I realize this isn’t wood, although the axle is oak, and don’t have a leather yo-yo topic so I’m posting it here. ![IMG_5344](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/c/4/8c4071a7784fcf2f80ddb9f06dcb79a9dd4f4f50.jpeg) ![IMG_5345](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/e/e/fee9dba5369acc601243a8083f0ff6765480dfb4.jpeg) ---

Extremely cool. Sho1’s leather yoyos are so cool I’m surprised more people haven’t tried to make highly playable fixies out of strange materials. I’d love to try a leather fixed axle yoyo some day. What are you doing for the response on it. Is it just very narrow gap width or do you have some kind of negative drilled hole response going on as well. ---

The leather closest to the axle has a very rough texture which seems to be enough for a consistent return. No holes drilled. I would like try this again, but with a slightly narrower profile. ---

I have a question about response on wood _imperial_-shaped yo-yos. Is there a consensus on preferred response systems for these? Like wood wall response only, response holes, etc? Also do people prefer the gap to be smaller or larger at all compared to butterfly-shaped ones? ---

I love the Schmoove on wood. It helps with giving the wound string room and prevent the string from getting jammed in the gap. Maybe even a bunch of schmoove rings like the Ywet? And a bigger gap. 😆 ---
