Here’s something I do with the leftovers. I made the first ones about 10 years ago, and got an honorable mention at the “Design in Wood” competition here in SD.Something so simple yet elegant.

This is nice project and a good way to use cutoffs.

Eric A great use for pieces that are too small but to good to hit the burn pile.
Thanks for the tip. Is it just a dowel in the middle?

Not quite, Craft Supply USA makes an axle that you can buy for $3. It’s 3 pieces, 2 inserts that are mounted one in each half, and the axle that they string loops around. it’s really the best way to go. I tried a dowel, but there is too much friction.

Anything made from koa is great, but as a fan of yo-yo’s I have to say great job.
