SOLD - Homemade Blades
Hello,
EDIT: Both Blades Have Been Sold - Thanks Everyone (and Especially Der_Echt)
I have two blades that I made a couple weeks ago, which I realized are too heavy for me after a session or two of playing with each. Veneers were pressed at high pressure with vacuum bag and titebond polyurethane glue, blades were sealed with a coat of polyurethane. As you might expect from a handmade item, there are minor imperfections - that being said, they are smooth, straight, symmetrical, fully functional, etc.
At this time, I think it only makes sense to sell to someone in the US (shipping internationally is horrendously expensive) - I'm looking for $30 each (with free shipping), Google Pay or Paypal (+fees).
Blade #1:
Composition: 7-ply, Limba - Koto - Koto - Western Red Cedar - Koto - Koto - Limba, Mahogany Handle
Approximate Thickness (measured with ruler): 6.2mm
Dimensions: Blade: 151mm wide, 159mm long, Handle (Subtle Flare): 99mm long, 25mm wide at the tip, 33mm wide at base, 23mm thick/tall
Weight: 104g
Playing Properties: Very fast, not too flexible (but looped well mid distance from the table), med-high throw
Blade #2:
Composition: 5-ply, Mahogany - Koto - Port Orford Cedar - Koto - Mahogany, Mahogany Handle
Approximate Thickness (measured with ruler): 5.9mm
Dimensions: Blade: 151mm wide, 159mm long, Handle (Moderate Flare) : 101mm long, 26mm wide at the tip, 34mm wide at base, 23mm thick/tall
Weight: 102g
Playing Properties: Med-speed, Med-flex, med-throw
