Zombie rims?
Reminds me of a corked bottle top. The wood is beautiful though. I can envision you carving that wood to keep the lines flowing from the rings.

Without being tuned, this thing wobbles more than any dubstep track. Tuned well (a feat in itself because this thing is pretty temperamental) it just has a pulsating vibe. It won't win any awards for smoothness, but it is completely playable when tuned.

I've been playing around with different axle systems and came up with this:  50.7mm Diameter 42.0mm Width 3.9mm Gap 42.22g |

Here are a few more pictures of the yo-yo:   I'm excited about cutting my first bearing seat and not messing it up. |

I have no idea what I'm saying but what if you adapted the axle system to accept side effects? I know wood has weight issues, do the math for each half and it should be able to balance out the wood somewhat right?

I know it's hard to tune a wooden yoyo to be balanced, since wood isn't a completely homogenous material, but if you can make a wood and brass in a somewhat "Inspire" shape that's fairly balanced, i would be willing to pay a good bit for it.

Looks nice! Like the shape. I think the issue with weight may be due to the smaller diameter.
PS: The bearing seat looks nice.
