I promised this one to FF a long while back. Here's a couple of pics. I'm a little out of practice (its been about a year since I've made a pick) so go easy on me. Also, this is my first attempt at a gem (second if you count the one I was making for FF and I screwed it up :twisted: ).

Lovely.

Your picks give excellent feedback. It's a shame this could be the last one.

Very nice pick! It has perfect shape and proportions.
Is the handle colored plywood or what?

Cheers :)

Thanks MBI! There's at least one more in the works that I promised a long while ago. After that, who knows? Everyone has their price, right? :cool:

Thanks elbow. And yes, yes you do need to put some G10 on some picks

haha...the problem is the 'ones i make' aren't 'made' yet! and this is a problem....ive used identical materials as yourself, but my craft skills have much to be learned (as my lockpicking skills too) i will be posting some pics of my pick very soon, but in no way will it be comparable to your badboys!!
P.S i would happily pay 'good money' for one of your picks if u ever decided to make some to sell.
