Show some wooden yoyos you've made

I’m trying to think of a name for this one. A few ideas I had were

  • the Zen Garden
  • the Ripple
  • the Colosseum

@RC_yo-yo , you have solid opinions on yoyo names. Do you have any thoughts?

Terrain themes come to mind

  • Topographic (aka: Topo)
    Can call a sequel counterpart Bathy (Bathymetry)
  • Surveyor
  • Contour
  • Strip mine
  • Crater
  • Inca
  • Terrace
  • Elevation

Can do a cool wood burn or stamp to match

Ooh, a topography-themed name is a great idea. I really like Surveyor and Contour. Those are strong contenders.

I like the sound of Surveyor

The Surveyer would also be fitting because…I literally surveyed ya’ll about what the name should be. :joy:

Maybe it could also come with a short satisfaction survey to complete the dad joke.

Elevation would be good, except it’s more of an excavation…and there’s the Elevation from Unparalleled already. So, my suggestions:

Excavation
Archaeologist
Reverse Energy Dome
Stadium
Circular Staircase

@Lido , of those options, I like Excavation and Archaeologist best.

Yeah, the first two were the more serious suggestions. It just reminded me of those archaeological sites where they’re digging layers.

Along the building line of names: colloseum, arena, stadia. Y’know various architecture with rising seats.

How about twist, portal, vortex or gyre? I think growth ring would be a great name for a wood yo-yo but not necessarily this one.
