Awesome. I'm glad it made it there safely and that you like it. It is a really great feeling when I get repeat customers and people like you who are excited with the quality! Thanks again for the order and let me know about the cyborg down the road! :D
 
Added some new pieces to the first post including a super stunning cocobolo! I love the wood ones!!! :D

Got it today and it looks great though the picture you posted made it look really light (almost white) and it came out really dark (almost black/brown) which is perfect. Apparently I made the mistake of only measuring one place in my necklace and assuming it was a uniform size. Needless to say the necklace didn't fit through, though it was REALLY close so I figured I couldn't do anything but ruin it and have to buy another one so I toof a round file to it and now, after some gentle widening, it fits perfectly! I'll post pictures after the weekend but know that as of now, it goes hwere I go as I never take that necklace off. hope it does well in all conditions! Very happy with it!

Great news. I'm glad you like it and got it to fit.

Regarding life, I don't know much about walnut. It was very light and cut very easily so I would assume you'll need to take care for it. I treated with boiled linseed oil. You can find that at Ace Hardware or maybe Home Depot. Tung oil will also work. I had a zebra wood necklace that was not a naturally stable wood and it lived fine around my neck all summer (ocean, pool, sweat).

Also there are a lot of cuts in the Cyborg so the strength will not be the same like the Villain. I would be proactive and wipe it with BLO every few months. Since you filed out the hole I would get some BLO now and retreat. It may seem like extra work, but wood is so cool that it will be worth it.

I can't wait to see pics! :D

Nice, I might like the Cocobolo even more than my Koa which is saying a lot! Speaking of Koa skull, mine is attached to my edc flashlight. The natural wood goes well with the brass in my mind. Be even better when the brass gets a patina.

The Koa on the flashlight looks fantastic! I agree about the wood and brass looking good together.

Thanks for the pic. :D

Things have been busy the last couple days. I can get more M3 stock, but it's expensive. If you'd like an M3 bead PM me and I can build you one.

Here is a quick pic of my new packaging. Nothing fancy, but I like the USA sticker.
