Large tops
« on: August 31, 2010, 07:28:27 AM »

Hi

I see a lot of large tops in videos and pictures from conventions, but I never see where to buy them. Are these tops all custom made or are some of them "commercially" available?
One example is the large hollow tops in the pictures from the Duncan facebook page from the latest spin top gathering.

The short answer to your question is that there is no commercial large top manufacturer because the demand is so low.  Walter Watts, Eric Wolfe, Alan Grey, and the Cincinnati Crew are the current makers of large tops.  They all post here.  All work at different rates, times, and costs.  To get a large top is very individual, good luck and have fun.

This is Watts' Tops.  I do make from 4 to 8 inch tops.  The most popular is the 4".  I call it the fun size.  If you have large hands, the 5" is a good choice.  I am presently working on a new batch of 4 and 5 inch tops that should be ready in a week or two.  Check wattstops.com for price or send me a pm.  I do some custom painting as well.
  I do have quite a few reviews on itopspin.  Search Watts Top,  Walt Watts, or Walter Watts.  The others mentioned do a great job on their tops as well. :) :)
