That looks spicy and I’m trying to figure it out. Is the nut held in by an epoxied-in disc of wood? Did you cut a hex nut shaped hole in each half?

The nut is press-fitted and epoxied into a small hole under the large disk and the disk is epoxied over the top to ensure it remains in securely.

My system uses lighter metal hardware than other wooden take aparts do, which usually rely on brass threaded inserts. Mine uses a standard steel M4 nut and m4 grub screw. It adds less than 3g of weight. The second photo is the hardware other yoyos use.

White oak KNack. This is the second yoyo I’ve made with my take-apart system. If it can work on a KNack it will work on any of my models.
Both the take-apart Skinflint and the KNack I made were made from pieces of wood that has consistently produced very vibey yoyos. Interestingly, these ones on are amazingly smooth. Like as smooth as or smoother than most of my epoxied yoyos. It also doesn’t seem to matter whether the grain is aligned or not, they remain smooth. This was unexpected, and all my other take apart fixed axle yoyos I own spin nowhere near as smoothly as these.
I have no idea why that is. My guess is that both the steel nut in the middle and the wooden disk I insert is stabilising them somehow. 
Dunno, but it’s a real win.

Just finished these today. They’re made from canary wood. It has a great feel in the hand. These all play well (except the one with the “V” for vibe).

I’ll probably sell a couple. They’ll be pretty cheap. I’d like to get peoples opinions.

I think you sold it based on your BST thread. We can work out a trade for the next batch.

It’s not engraved yet but this Padauk wood came out nice. It’s a little heavy due to the weight of Padauk, weighs 62 grams. Plays incredibly smooth.
In person it’s redder than the first pic appears. The gap pic is a better representation of the color.
