Beautiful!  8)
I love how the box becomes the spinning base.

Superb!

Would love one of these top and box sets with a plain black disk and tip. Would that be possible for a price?

PS: What's the link to your website again?

Brilliant! Could I get a price too? (although I have a feeling it'll be over the top ;))

Thanks...that one sold today, for $125 plus shipping. Just finished another, no box/stage this time, just the top ($55). Here's the direct link to the spin-top area on my retail site: https://yoyospin.zibbet.com/shop?shop_section=202124

Plain? I don't do too much plain. What size and materials did you have in mind?

Maybe some black or black-lacquered wood for the top's disk, something black for its tip, and everything else as in the video. Goal: Simple, elegant black and brown color scheme.

Okay...I'll put my mind to it. If anything pops out, I'll post some photos.
