Dual Snake with Olive Wood Handle

[ChonkyTonks]

I think I am finally getting the hang of this. This is a dual snake with my custom handle design using olive wood. This time around, I sanded the handle pieces prior to attaching them so I did not end up with the sand marks at the hilt of the pick. The olive wood has a nice feel to it and is nicely figured. I will be working with that again. I am thinking zebrawood or snakewood for my next handle. Anyhow, here is a pic (bottom pick) of my latest pick. Let me know what you think.

Excellent job again I like the handle very much! Olive wood is the best one so far.

I'm not sure about the pick size: the S tips look too big to me, but I could be wrong... did you test the pick? Does it work?

Cheers

Thanks, Femurat. The pick size is a little big. I have tested it and it is best for bigger key ways. Then again, this is just one more prototype to see what works and what does not. At some point, I may start selling these, but I want to make sure all the kinks are worked out of the manufacturing process.

They look great ChonkyTonks.

I agree that the S rake looks pretty big, but I think that the hooks look fine. If you decide to start to sell, keep me in mind as I might be interested in one.

Those other wooden ones in the background look interesting. Did you make those too?

Thanks!

I will keep you in mind should I start selling these. The ones in the background are some of my earlier attempts with picks. The handles there are padauk, black palm and ash (I think).
