If you’re not relying on end-grain for the response, then you can orient the grain however you like as long as you mirror the sides. ---

Mirrored wood grain is just too beautiful. I think it always should be mirrored. IMO ---

Finally finished this slim Mother T for @Woozie . My new favorite part of the process is using citrus oil after sanding as a solvent to remove any sawdust.

Excuse my ignorance, are the three trees of the logo meant to represent a “W”? Like in Wild Wood? I have one I got in a trade and don’t know much about the history other than it is a v1. ![Eric Newlin Wildwood v1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/3X/7/9/7968ecd9fa697941ac0e0ba4845df360b091955b.jpeg) ---

The dogs woke me up at 4am, so I finished this modified/imperial. It’s screws apart, has resin caps, and walnut oil + carnauba wax finish. I made a set of birch axle sleeves for it. No Jive sleeves also fit. It was a _lot_ of work. I enjoyed making it, but it’s probably not something I would make to order going forward. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/7/1/a7183df7517cca333bb307f86b71ec129fec6c09.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/0/7/9075890810ae8d4be8e3f91a3dd0c85717dc53b3.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/e/3/ce391936c8f8cdb532644a4fbbdb1c5bce3f8662.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/3/0/530f2ed6ee3b67a799ffeb6767217c18636d14cc.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/2/d/92dc54032b1f6535a81b4476de34697530a41ba9.jpeg) ---

are those axles ( not the tk sleves) made form rounds you drilled? i’ve been toying with some 1/4 inch oak rounds for butterfly axle mods i just don’t have a drill press for the precision i need to make a sleeve… was also considering trying poplar because its very straight and smooth grain but its softer… haven’t found maple rounds at lowes… ---
