Definitely geeking out! (Here’s the bass in question - undecided if I’ll paint a yin-yang on the yo-yo because it looks SO GOOD as it is!)

Were you able to figure out the wobble on the Spaulted Maple?

It’s definitely the uneven weight distribution due to the spalting. Each spalted section developed different densities that aren’t symmetrical enough across the halves. I tried to use a portion of the wood that would closely match, but there’s still too much weight variation. I only had about 7 inches of wood that was usable, so it was a wee bit tricky.

Because I have totally retired from making yoyos, I made a maple KNack.
