For some time i have been building "Shells" made out of various woods. The 2 pictured are made from Zebra wood and Red Wood.
They take a few days to complete, depending on the hardness of the wood ( did one in Purple Heart, was referred to as a soft rock).
Its a little late to make them for Christmas, but would anyone be interested in buying them?

Not sure on pricing but thinking about $80 to start.

Let me know what you think, and if it would be something you might be interested in. I can make them out of any type of wood too.

My wife and I are interested in one. We're just trying to figure out what kind of wood. We'll PM soon.
Cool, let me know, I am in AZ until the end of the week.
I have more Monkeypod, and some spalted Maple is on its way. I have Lacewood, Paduac, Redwood and Zebrawood on hand.
I have katalox, but have not messed with it yet, I think its harder than purple heart though.
If i have time i might see if anyone local has some desert Ironwood.
