Custom Bogota w/Bocote Handle

Hey all,

Here is the latest of my custom wares: Custom bogota with a Bocote Handle. I have another one like this that is just about finished (full black ebony handle). I started making this one for LSA, but realized that the handle was too damned short, thus I started making a new one. Lo and behold, this pick is actually a gem for being short. I have a few more coats of shellac to apply, but feel like it is at the 99% done mark. Also, you might notice that the pick itself is a bit shinier than the others I have made. I found buffing compound earlier this week and now know how ratyoke got his picks to look so damn shiny. Let me know what you think.

Thanks, guys. If LSA does not want this one, I will post it in the "for sale" section.

You will be getting a dual bogota, so it will be a bit modified, but I already have a few designs that I have in mind for that. I should be getting that one started this weekend. I will send you a picture of the pick once I have it cut to the essential design.
