haha idk! i would need the exact measurements. maybe tomorrow i'll see if my gpa would want to experiment on some! so far we've only made 1/2" 3/4" and 1".

What is the gem? Do you have smaller ones? God I seriously love those soooo much!

awe thanks! they're just glass AB gems. i'm 99% sure that the place i go to would have small enough gems. the ones in the 1" plugs are the biggest they carry.
i got carried away today at the store and bought a pair of gems in almost every color they carry to make plugs for myself later. yummy bling!

Dude. Sweet.

What are you using to condition the wood with?

Gotta get my dad to teach me how to use the lathe!

all i do is oil them with jojoba! but they really don't need anything. we sand them down a lot so they're all smooth and shiny.

I figured as much, but I had to ask. I realllly gotta start making my own wood plugs. I have access to everything!

Still gotta figure out the yay/nay on resin, was thinking about starting to make some o' those too.

ooo me too! i need to get some SS tunnels to make experiment on.

and seriously making plugs is so fascinating. even when i have to just stand there and watch my gpa because he's afraid i'll fuck things up ;[

That happened to me too!!! my ear thickened where my thick spot already was!
also those plugs are awesome.
I wish my dad did wood work, but he only works with metal.
