>...actually, a load of Terror Tops. All of these little guys measure about 2.25" in diameter and 2.5" from tip to tip. From left to right: Laminated Putumuju and black veneer, Brazilian Rosewood, Indonesian Rosewood, Sheaoak, Padauk and in the from center...clear Acrylic. BTW, they're called Terror Tops cuz it's gonna hurt if you land them the wrong way :-)

>Jen, thanks...yes, I make ball bearing yo-yos too; but these are my favorite. They are a one-piece design: no glue holding the axle and sides together; so it�s a bit more of a challenge getting each side to be a mirror image of the other.

best regards,
