I'm interested in a simple wrist rest -- no underside board--in TKL size.   14-14.1" wide.  I'm thinking of something in a cold toned color--either natural wood or else a dye, if you don't mind.  I'll PM you for details!

These look fantastic! If it wasn't for shipping and customs issues I'd definitely get one.

no idea what customs fees would be, but shipping shouldn't be too bad. If you pm me your address I can check and get back to you

[tigersharkdude]

If anybody is interested this piece is for sale, Ive been using it for about 1.5 months and it still looks as good as the day I finished it

[Stiggeh]

I'm interested in a 1/2" pressed pine keyboard plate (bottom plate) and 3/4" whitewood wrist wrest for a Ducky Shine 3 (17.4" wide). I really like the ebony stain in some of your completed work so I'd like that if possible.

PM me if you can do this for me.

[damorgue]

Can you dye and fade it? I have always liked the finish on Gibson guitars:

Example A
Example B
Example C

I would like a wrist rest which fades to black at the edge closest to the keyboard, which in my case are usually black. Below are some images from when I played around with the idea a few months back.

Ive never done a stain job like that before. Let me see if I can figure out how to do it online

[tigersharkdude]

Currently working a simple wrist rest (option 3) with no stain, just multiple poly coats for Photoelectric

and an Option 2 wrist/keyboard rest with ebony stain for Stiggeh (I think, he emailed me)

Pics will be up of both later

I also have a simple wrist rest for a TKL sitting here if anybody is interested in it (photoelectric didnt like the big knot in the wood so I made a different piece for her[??])

[tigersharkdude]

Update on the orders for Photoelectric and Stiggeh

Photoelectric's simple TKL wrist rest with no stain is finished. This one was quite the undertaking, we tried numerous different methods of application for the weathered grey stain and it was always too dark for her, she ended up deciding on a bare wood finish with only poly on top. So I sanded all of the grey off and applied 10+ coats of polyurethane and wetsanded / polished .... its as slick as a freshly waxed car now ..... LOL










Here is the (option 2) DuckyShineIII - ebony stained - wrist/keyboard rest for Stiggeh .... still a work in progress

[tigersharkdude]

Photoelectric's piece shipped out yesterday

Stiggeh's piece is receiving its first poly coat this morning (picture is before final stain touch up and poly)

Looks great--thank you!  Will match well with my desk and an oiled birch monitor shelf I made for it.  Will post photos when it arrives!

[tigersharkdude]

woot! I dropped it off last night, so Im guessing it will be there tomorrow or Saturday

[PizzaCola]

I've been a lurker for a long time and I made an account just to tell you this work is great. I'll send you a PM if you're still doing orders.

[tigersharkdude]

Thanks fir the inquiry.  I replied via email as requested.

[PizzaCola]

I'M SO EXCITED. My wrists ache in anticipation.

The knotiest (sp?) piece of wood I could find has been purchased, give me a few days to finish it

Initial cuts have been made, tomorrow ill sand and stain and saturday I'll start on polyurethane coating

[tigersharkdude]

Went ahead and started sanding on PizzaCola's simple wrist rest tonigh

[tigersharkdude]

Stain is on the wrist rest of PizzaCola




and 2nd polyurethane stage is on (I'll wetsand and polish again before calling it finished)\

[tigersharkdude]

Im wanting to experiment with dying a wrist rest with some RIT dye.

With that said would anybody be interested in a RIT Dyed SIMPLE TKL wrist rest? Your choice of color (as long as I can find it locally)

[tigersharkdude]

Continuing work on PizzaCola's wrist rest. He messaged me and asked if I could make it look "worn/old" and gave me a link as to what he wanted ..... I like the way it came out

[Photoelectric]

That's actually pretty cool--some authentic looking "old park bench" look 

[tigersharkdude]

it looks much better in person, Im not a big fan of using my 50mm lens (beyond easy to over expose with) but didnt feel like swapping lenses ..... LOL

This wouldn't really fit me setup, but I wish it would - perhaps this could inspire someone else. I would love to see you make one of these.

Since this piece is made of scrap wood, it's a little bit shorter than my QFR wrist rest, its perfect for a PokerII/60% setup ...... if anybody would be interested in it let me know. After it is complete I'll test it with my monitor for a few days to make sure it is stable
