I was recently asked if I am going to make anymore wood counter weights. I wasn’t planning on it but Ifigured why not? I made this “wood dice” out of cherry burl and I really like it. Came in just under 10 grams. Gauging interest to see if I should do a full run of all different woods, materials, colors, etc. Let me know what you think, if the interest is there I may make them just for fun and to have on hand. Depending on the different woods the weight would likely range between 9g and 12g. If you are a 5a player I’d love an education on how critical the weight of a counterweight is to the play. Thanks!!

That wood counterweight looks very cool!

All my counterweights are between 9 and 12g, so that sounds like a good range.

I’m sure some people have opinions on lighter or heavier, but I’m not good enough to have an opinion.
