I also managed to completely blunt the drill bit I am using to core out the sleeve, so had to go get a new bit. I'm back to the point where the next batch will get started pretty soon, so if you're still waiting, be assured that I've not forgotten you, and I'll be in touch fairly soon. As I commented earlier, I'm not taking any more orders now, as I've mad far too many of these (and I'm getting bored of it!) so I'm moving on to the next puzzle project and getting back to working in wood.
Wow, good thing I ordered one from you in time...

Thanks in advance. Take your time.

Did you find a way to tint them or not, just curious?

I have the materials to try a translucent purple, however I've had no time to try it. I believe it's possible for some colours, but as with the previous comments, life has got in the way of me working on this stuff.

In total there are around 40 made.

If you're interested in how they're made, I've just finished uploading the making of video...

It will let you see just what goes into making one of these.
