When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

you are [please excuse my swearing] good man
how did you applie the wood? superglue or epoxy?
i think about making me my own set of picks... those I have have started to worn out, so I'd like to know which kind of steel you used.

Wow...those look beautiful, very classy.

if your worried about feedback you could possibly try a full metal "tang" with wood side panels...

you could also try using a hard wood core with softer wood sides....

...but wow, excellent work.

Let me add my compliments as well! I'm not sure the handle would feel right for me, but that is just a purely individual thing - The quality of workmanship is wonderful!

The handle looks a really interesting shape and even though I'm not sure it would feel right for me, that is only because I'm looking at a picture, the very shape is so different you just want to pick it up to try it out for yourself - WELL DONE!

With winter coming, the wood handle picks will be so much better on the hands than metal handles, Not making for super cold touch on the feedback when woring outdoors.

Excellent work.
Wake up and smell the Kafka!!!
