[Bryanxwhite]

Thanks guys!! I appreciate all the kind words. LSA, I'm glad you liked it. I hope to be making ones better than the previous.

Here is a pick I just finished for MisterSour. It's an offset half diamond with tiger stripe G10. I have more of the tiger stripe if anyone wants it on a pick.

O YEAH! I have big plans for this pick. Maybe a couple of 833C's or a 826C or maybe even a 831B! I think soon I will have a new "go-to" pick! Thanks Bryan for the awesome pick. I can't wait to have it in my hands!!!

Wow...that is an amazing pick.

[uklockpicker]

wow very slick

Here is a short hook I finished up earlier. It's got some red/black G10. The red is barely visible , but gives the black a little bit better shade. I wanted to test out some handle shapes I had drawn up. I think it turned out alright. I tried a new fastening system on this one, it works great but is too time consuming to use on others.That's why I'm selling this one. $45 shipped.

Bryan, is that "red/black" layered like red/black/red/black etc? that is the kind of blue/black I have, it looks like it should turn out like your tiger stripe pick above, except blue/black. Pretty sure my blue/black is like your tiger stripe.

I'm going to mess around with that a bit, should look good.

[Bryanxwhite]

It's layered like you said. I'm not sure if the epoxy resin they used in part with the not too vibrant red caused it to be so dull. I think they should have done 2 layers of red then black... I'm looking at a raw piece, the red is on top, because the black is much darker it takes away from it standing out like the black/orange tiger stripe. I'm going to go sand on a scrap piece and see if I can get the red to show up.

[Bryanxwhite]

This is the best I can come up with. Aside from using a clear coat I don't think it will show much better. I was hoping I overlooked the red part. Here it is..

[chris]

I can't even see any red in that picture at all, it doesn't stand out nearly as much as it should.

[Bryanxwhite]

I'm a bit disappointed. I woulnt have known until I tried. Oh well. I can say that I'll stick with contrasting colors. I'm still very pleased with the tiger stripe. 1 out of 2 ain't bad!
Chris, how did your blue/black turn out?

[chris]

I haven't tried it out yet, I'll probably have a look at it tomorrow or Tuesday. I'll put a picture up though.

Beautiful pick.

Thank you uklockpickers and Piotr! I appreciate the kind words. I'll be working on a few more during the week. Hopefully I'll have something new up in a few days.
