Yes, of course. When your turn arrives you can ask for what you want (within reason 😅).

Yes, everything was sold 😅.

#1268 - Asymmetric Inner - OFF- The plies for this blade were glued a while ago, somehow the blade blank ended up in the back of a closet when I moved my workshop, and I only found it recently 😅. Roughly two years later, the blade was finished. It's basically a fiber reinforced Violin, but with...

Yes, it has a very similar grain structure, but it's not Koto.

#1266 - 7 ply - OFF- Another unusual build, soft European Cypress outer layers with Blue Fig medial. EC, while still soft, it's not on the same level of sponginess as Hinoki, so in reality it feels closer to Limba. Blue Fig is also soft, and not much harder than Ayous. Surrounding the Ayous...

"Reconstituted wood, also known as engineered or manufactured wood, is a material made by binding wood fibers, particles, or veneers together with adhesives to create a panel or sheet. This process allows for the creation of consistent, uniform materials that can be more stable and durable than...

These Dotec styele handles are inevitably heavier than the real ones because I'm not using cork, so normally I use a lighter wood on the upper part of the handle (in this case Ayous), and a heavier one on the bottom (in this case Sapele). Unless the composition is very light, they usually...

#1264 - 7 ply - DEF A take on the Goriki, seven plies of equal thickness but using Reconstituted Oak wood instead of Walnut. Available FS. - 7x Reconstituted Wood - 100.0g - 5.2mm - 161x155mm - FL (102x25.0-22.7mm) - Balance: 3.7cm (High)

#1263 - Outer G-C - OFF This is a blade with a very unusual composition. On the top ply we have Makore, a hard and stiff wood, even more than Koto, and also very crisp. Then we have Glass-Carbon fiber, which is very close to ALC, but perhaps a tad crisper as well. To balance out the crispness I...

#1251 - Inner BS - OFF- Based on a King AcB, although it came out a bit slower but not as head heavy as well. Contrary to the last blade I've posted, this one doesn't have such a strong kick on harder shots, so it will pair better with softer/springer rubbers. - Koto / Ayous / B-S / Ayous core...

Thank you. I've posted a few lately, but they were already sold. I'm going to post a Def blade in a few days, but it's more of a classic chopping blade, not really aimed at modern defenders.

#1250 - Inner AC - OFF Typical inner construction but with a medium thickness core. Not as thick as HL5x, but not as thin as a HL5 for example. It's a stiff blade (~1400Hz), medium soft feeling, but with a strong kick. Available FS. - Limba / Ayous / A-C / Ayous core - 89.0g - 6.1mm -...

#1244 - 3+4 - OFF-/OFF Backstory for this one: Normally when I build a blade I start by the composition, then I make the handle. This time I had the handle pieces, we tried using this gorgeous Indian Rosewood for another customer's blade, but unfortunately they came out extremely heavy, so we...

I haven't because I see no benefit in doing it. Putting wood layers at an angle means you will never be able to achieve full symmetry, which can lead to warping or weak spots. With fibers it's different, because they have important mechanical properties along the two major directions. Still, it...

#1243 - Outer "CAGD" - OFF-/OFF What the hell is "CAGD"?! If I was a big company, or frankly just better at marketing, I would try to capitalize on this an say something like: The world's first 4 fiber blade! The cutting edge combination of 4 different fibers - Carbon, Aramid, Glass and Diolen...

Fineline is another term for reconstituted wood. It consists of pre-dyed thin veneers that are glued together and then cut in the perpendicular direction. Most commercial handles nowadays use Fineline, the usual pattern is vertical and what some people call grain, is just the glue lines between...

#1230 - Outer Basalt - OFF- Sometimes I don't have a game-plan or no clear idea of what I want to do. In this case, I knew I wanted to use this funky new Maple Fineline veneer I got, I wanted to use Basalt as well since I hadn't in a while, so I built a composition around that. For the handles...

Yes 😅

#1229 - Outer GF - ALL+/OFF- The "Balsa looping blade", that mythical creature that eludes many many players, and even blade builders such as myself. It's kinda like chasing a rainbow! Which was, sort of, the inspiration for this very subtle and inconspicuous blade. Balsa blades have a bad...

Pine can be quite hard and used on the medial it can give that "pingy" feeling to a blade, that's the biggest difference. Walnut varies a lot, not sure what kind they are using because, judging by the photos sometimes it looks like Black Walnut. If that's the case then yes, it's only slightly...
