BACK TO SCHOOL SALE PT 2

August 30th, 2010

All of the items here are ready to ship and priced per pair.  The sale pricing on these will last until Labor day, next week.  I need school supplies, and you guys need some fresh plugs.  Right?  Right.

So here we go then.

Olivewood rings: 0 gauge with a 45 mm diameter. Nice cut of wood and they have aged a bit since they were made a year ago.  They could use a re-finishing to smooth them out and make them shiny.  $25, or $30 re finished.

Local osage spirals: 0 gauge wearable.  There is a crack on the tail of one that has been glued and repaired, but they still look nice. $20

Top left down:

Local osage hearts:  Double flared. 13.2 mm wearable, 13.3 wide.  Wearable as a large 1/2 inch or small 9/16.  $20

Osage tear fronts:  12.7 mm wearable, 14 mm wide.  Awesome grain on these.  Tear in the front and round in the back.  $20

Ebony with gems: 16 mm wearable, 13.3 mm wide.  2 small cubic zirconia set in the wood.  Amazing polish on these that only ebony can have.  Sexy and classy at the same time. $25  SOLD

Oak: 17.5 mm wearable, 12.5 mm wide.  Priced to move. $10

Redwood burl; 17.5 mm wearable, 13.2 mm wide.  Awesome look to these.  Nice little eyes.  $15

Red narra: 21 mm wearable, 13.3 mm wide.  I re-worked these the other day to bring them up to par.  Real shiny now.  $15

Zebrawood:  22.7 mm wearable, 11.2 mm wide.  These were made from a 25+ year old piece of zebra.  Super hard.  These will last forever with periodic oiling. $15

Clockwise from the top left:

Vera:  23.8 wearable, 11.6 mm wide.  These will get nice and green when they get sun exposure.  One of my favorite woods to work with.  $15

Local osage mayan eyelets:  24.5 wearable with a 27.5 mm front. 14 mm wide.  Awesome growth rings and color.  $25

2 toned mesquite eyelets: 25 mm wearable, 15.5 mm wide.  I may keep these myself if they don’t sell.  Super shiny finish. $27

Amboyna burl tears with 2 gems:  23.8 wearable,  13.3 wide.  These can still be comfortably worn in 1 inch lobes.  2 white cubic zirconia give a little bit of flash to them.  $35

Afzelia xylay:  25 mm wearable, 12.4 mm wide.  Awesome wood with a crocodile look to the grain.  $35

Olivewood with ammonite:  24.5 mm wearable, 14.5 mm wide.  The ammonite is inlayed into the wood and sits just slightly above the wood surface.  $35

Osage eyelets: 25 mm wearable, 13 mm wide.  These were made over a year ago, but I reworked them the other day to bring them up to par.  The color is aged quite nicely.  $20

From the top left down:

Walnut burl: 28.2 mm wearable, 13.5 mm wide.  Awesome burl eyes on these and real dark.  If you are sensitive to woods, walnut may cause a reaction.  Many people (including myself) can still wear it fine though.  $25

Redheart mayan flares and concave fronts:  31.5 mm wearable with a 35.5 mm front flare, 14.8 mm wide.  These plugs are incredibly sexy.  Shiny and a deep red with a deep bowl face.  Jump on these!  $35

Vera mayan flared eyelet:  31.8 mm wearable with a  36.3 mm front flare and  14.2 mm wide.  3 different gauged brass inlays pop in the vera.  Amazingly smooth.  $35

Cherry burl:  31.5 mm wearable, 16 mm wide.  Fat wearing space on these guys.  Lots of great burl characteristics on display.  They will darken up to a beautiful tan shade over time.  These will be re-finished before they are sold.  $30

Maple burl teardrops:  31.5 mm wearable, 18 mm wide.  This wood is one of the best slices of maple burl I have ever used.  So much going on here.  This shape is a bit more vertical than my regular teardrops, but still totally wearable.  $35

Zebrawood:  37 mm wearable, 14.3 mm wide.  Deep flares.  Kind of an in-between type size, but great to get you to up at a cheap price.  $25

Beeswing narra:  40.8 mm wearable, 15 mm wide.  I am really surprised nobody has picked them  up yet.  The wood dances like water ripples.  $30

Mayan flared katalox eyelet: 45.5 mm wearable, 54 mm front flare, 16 mm wide.  Such a beautiful look to the katalox.  What you are seeing is the side grain, as opposed to the end grain.  $35

Afzelia burl concave eyelets:  48 mm wearable,  16.5 mm wide.  The concave on these is super deep making them very lightweight for the size.  Lots of sweet burl action here.  $45

Redwood burl eyelets:  50 mm wearable, 15.5 mm wide.  very gentle rear flare and larger front.  These are almost weightless.  $35

So that is just about my stock of large gauge, with the exception of some other items.  I have no qualms with selling any or all of it.  Take advantage of these prices while you can.

All orders get $2 United States shipping, or $5 international added.

In addition to the pre made items on sale here, I will be offering 15% off of custom orders and $10 small gauge plugs.  The $10 sale includes solid double flared plugs (no hearts, eyelets or tears).  Any wood and any size from 6 mm to 17.5 mm.

This sale will continue until labor day.

Email me with any ideas.

Cheers.

Back to school sale pt 1

August 28th, 2010

This stuff I am offering here is priced to move.  Most of these were made a year or so ago, so I am doing and “out with the old, in with the new” type thing.  Some of these are a seconds, a little wonky, some have narrow wearing space, some are perfectly fine but have been sitting in my case for too long.  I will try and describe each one to the best of my ability.

All prices will be listed per pair.  Shipping is $2 to the United States, or $5 elsewhere.  I can also re-finish them for an extra $5.  In the past few months I have changed up my finishing techniques drastically for the better.  None of these have that same finish, so that’s why I am offering that.  I would recommend it to anyone buying off of here.

Please email me with which ones you want to purchase and I will send you a paypal invoice.
