Ah man,  I didn't even think of stripping it and staining it. 
And I'm a wood worker.

Now there are no more.  :faint:

So when is the next run?

Hey Tommy .... what are you doing with the pair that you removed?   They appear to be rosewood in colour.   Interested in parting with these?   If so, how much?

Thanks .... CHAPS

Rob,

Mine showed up!  These are really nice.  It looks so much better than the stock plastic.  It's easily worth double what I paid for it.  Nice work!





Rob I don't know how big a pain these are for you to make.  If you're making them by hand or having someone make them for you, but if you ever make them again I would love a lime green and black striped one.  My suggestion would be to take custom orders and have folks pre-pay.  I'd be in for one!!!

Rob, I got the unfinished one and have gone ahead since it was unfinished and customized it for my hand, which is a little funky. What stain did you use on the lime green ones you did? I want to use a purple that still shows the grain well.
