Made a yo yo for a colleague of mine. Wood is cocobolo, 2 1/2×5/8”. Mechanism is from Penn State. Finish is sand up to 2000, 1/4lb clear shellac, and Renaissance wax. Ball bearing mechanism is pretty well made. Thanks for looking!

That is fantastic

So great a choice of woodgrain

It must look neat spinning, a film clip would be great :)
