Made a couple of Burleys for an order. These ones have a 5mm brass axle. They are 44mm in diameter making them the smaller fixed axle yoyos I’ve ever made. They weight about 49g.

Made this odd one tonight. It’s purpleheart and zebrawood with a 1/4" AL axle. I’ll out it up in the BST tomorrow.

The world needs more bi-wood yoyos. Beautiful work per usual.

I made a few one piece yoyos today (each turned from a single block). They are made from oregon, cypress pine and pepperwood.

Making some yellow heart and padauk with walnut axle fixies for a charity auction. I really hope they play well.

They are thin and laminated. There is a very good chance they will play well.

Does anyone have any experience or info on how different kinds of wooden axles can affect spin time and responsiveness.
For example: the same wooden yoyo but one with a walnut axle and the other with a rosewood axle…
Is there a correlation between wood grain and Janka hardness?

There are many factors that contribute to how readily a yoyo responds, but very generally speaking, the harder the axle wood, the less responsive it is. Softer woods allow the string to bite in more.
It’s far more about the overall setup though. The Survivalist model I make has a really low friction AL axle when paired with the string. And HDPE is a slippery material. Sounds like a recipe to have a terribly responding yoyo, but it works really well due to the overall setup.

@Glenacius_K how do you make your logo? It’s very clean. Is it laser engraved?

How do they play?

There is a small amount of vibe. But I would say it’s a acceptable amount for a wood yo-yo. Similar to some of my no jives but not as smooth as my TMBR‘s. Performance and feel of it is like a smaller PockeHt, or Fremont. Overall I think it’s pretty good. I really like the look. And this was also my first time using yellow heart and padauk. I will definitely buy more of them.

What do you call a small amount of vibe? Visibly 1mm vibe blur?

I don’t know how to measure it but it’s not as smooth as my TMBR’s. If I touch the rim while it’s sleeping I can feel it. While just throwing them, it’s hard for me to notice.
