Heres the newest top i just took off the lathe. i cant decide what color to dye it yet. but i wanted to show it to all of you.

It's nice, but I think the point is not appropriate, I think the groove should be finer.

The tip does seem a bit fat. Are those black grooves cut and/or burned into the top? If it is to be an acrobatic top, you might want to avoid putting those on. They can really affect play by catching the string.

Nice looking top.  After you dye it, it will be gorgeous.

Did you hollow it? How much?

By the way, I carefully peeled out the stickers on my Giulias and placed them on butter paper so I can replace them when I decide to retire the tops to the display shelf.

Jim,

You are exactly right, the top is great as it is. I just thought that Woodguy was looking for feedback as he builds his top-making skills.

Woodguy, I didn't mean any disrespect. The dye looks great.

[woodguy]

None taken sirboot !

[jim in paris]

dear sirBoot

Jim in Paris knows how to phrase things so well......

"and a gentleman's attitude shall always be praised."

I like that.  Thanks, Jim!
