----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
What you're ordering:
----------------------------------------------------------------
A custom hardwood wrist rest. You can choose the wood species and a few optional extras like finishing, engraving, or dyeing.


----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
How to order:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Send me a PM with what size rest and species of wood you want. I'll send back a quote/price of that rest. Feel free to ask questions, I'm more than happy to answer them.

All pre-made rest (green text) are finished and ready to ship within a day or two.

Unless you tell me otherwise, custom order rests will be finished with the "3 coats General Finishes "Arm-R-Seal" Oil & Urethane Topcoat Satin". If you don't want it finished, tell me in the first few PMs.


----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dimensions (Unless otherwise noted or requested):
----------------------------------------------------------------
Length: Fullsized = 17 5/16", TKL = 14", Poker = 11 1/2"
Width: ~3 1/2"
Height of back edge: ~5/8" without feet, 3/4" with feet
Height of front edge: ~1/4"
Angle: ~8 degrees

Custom sizes available upon request

----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
Extras:
----------------------------------------------------------------
3 coats General Finishes "Arm-R-Seal" Oil & Urethane Topcoat Satin - Free
 - My favorite finish due to it being oil based. Because of this it pops the grain of the wood giving the rest a much nicer appearance.

3 coats Cabot Super Clear Satin Lacquer - Free
 - This finish make the wood look as if it has just been sanded but still offers the wood with some protection.

Engraving - $9 minimum



----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
Species (This is to show general grain pattern, your piece may look different in grain and color):
----------------------------------------------------------------
Alder
Hemlock
Soft Maple
Red Oak
Quarter Sawn Red Oak
Hard Maple
Walnut
Cherry
Tiger/Curly Maple
Lacewood
African Padauk
Birdeye maple
Avidore
African Mahogany
Purple heartwood
Zebra wood
Wenge


----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
Payment:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Payment by Paypal or Amazon payment but I will also entertain trades, PM me with offers.

All rest carefully looked at, items sold as is. Lost or stolen packages are buyers responsibility.


----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
Shipping + Handling:
----------------------------------------------------------------
CONUS via Priority Mail - $8

International via USPS First Class - $19

Packaging includes ~3 layers of bubble wrap and one layer of packing paper.


----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
Change Log:
7/19: Prices reduced on rest and finishing
7/26: Prices reduced on rest and finishing is now free
8/2: Updated with more wood species. Also cleaned up some of the Notes, rules, shipping....

Thanks, I'm always up for trades too. Even if it isn't worth the total price, I'll take its value (and a little extra) off the total price.

Ordering: TKL Lacewood

I really like the look of that wood. Definitely would go well with my brand new RACE and my Filco TKL.

I'm not exactly sure if I can get a lace wood board that wide. I could edge glue them (Like how the purple heart is glued on), but then the grain would look funky. If you can wait, I'll check with my wood guy and see what I can do. No promises, I'll also add you to the GB section of this thread. Like most other GB threads, it tends to be a waiting game

No worries - I'm not in any rush and appreciate whatever you can do in this regard as per my PM. :)

I'll do custom lengths, just give me a measurement :D. I'll even cut down one of the rest shown above. But keep in mind that I don't have access to this shop everyday so it might take some time to get done (I mostly go on the weekends).

Here are a couple quick pictures of the purple heart wrist rest The_Beast made for me. The pictures don't do it justice though as it is beautiful looking in person. My wife even likes it, saying it looks like its from a high end furniture store.


If you were unsure about getting one before, don't be and just get one before its too late. These are well worth the price you pay or trade for them.
I think its fair to say that these are the nicest wood wrist rests you can actually buy today. Much nicer than than the basic imported ones or any of the plastic ones too.


Yes, I forgot to put the rubber feet on it before pictures, but once those are on its perfect height.


Thanks again The_Beast for the nice Friday afternoon surprise  ;D

That's really close to the Poker sizes, so it will be the same price. Shipping to EU was $15 last time I checked. Give me 20 minutes, I was just about to lower prices anyways :D.

Measurements confirmed

Would like to order

Walnut
Width: 12"1/4"
Front height: 5/8"

However, I dont want it to be so long (I think this is what you call "width" defaulting to 3 1/2" in the main post).

 Could you make it like, 7centimeters instead? (2.75590551 inches according to google)

So its more like this:

Sure can broham

Do you want that 2 3/4" off the front edge where it's normally 1/4" or of the back edge where it's normally 5/8"? I'm assuming you want it off the back edge so that you retain the angle of the rest.

Yes, teh back, assuming it still maintains the keyboard height when meeting with the keyboard.

I also want it finished. With rubber feet. and diet coke.

PM ing shipment info. I am moving 18th of august, so dont ship before then (well I guess you can ship a bit before since, shipping takes time) should it be ready that soon.

Double checking. The front edge (the one the faces you) will be 1/4" and the back will be 5/8" ( the edge that touches the keyboard) with the width being 2 3/4" and a length of 12 1/4"?

In a few post back you said you wanted the front edge 5/8" so I just want to confirm.

Yup, that's exactly what I was thinking. However, I did a quick measurement and you won't have that flat part on top it will look like this
*Host dropped all my pictures :(

Anyways, If I hear back from you before I leave, I make it this weekend. But if I don't I'll make it some other weekend since I have until the 18th to ship anyways ;D

Woo baby. I can't wait to get one of these. If it's as awesome as it looks I'll try and get some of my co-workers interested too. There's 86 employees at my company and all of 'em spend 8 - 12 hours a day in front of their PC, so I'm sure they'd appreciate a good wrist rest!

And the prices are really good too for one-off, custom wood work.  Wooden wrist rests elsewhere are more expensive.

Dude, I just wanted to commend you.  Those wrist rests look beautiful!  I'm thinking of maybe getting the ball and chain to get me one for xmas. 

In the interim, I'm not expressly concerned about look or what not, if you have one that goes terribly wrong that you want to get rid of for cheap, let me know.  Doubtful that that would happen as you make them all by hand, but just wanted to toss it out there.

Money is tight as we build up to the wedding :-/...

I did have enough extra walnut to make a TKL sized rest (check out my 2nd post). I had one walnut board, I got a fullsized, TKL and Race sized rest out of it. I had just enough material to make the TKL rest, about a 1/2" extra material from final length (trust me, that isn't a whole lot)

I stopped by the lumber shop tonight, I picked up some more Lace wood and a board of Zebra wood. If you'd like a rest made of these, post here what you want and I might make it this weekend (not 100% sure tho).

Man I love Lacewood, those are both from the same board, but look completely different.





These Walnut ones need one more coat on the bottom and then they are ready to ship (I'll get a final weight, calculate shipping and send invoices). AKIMbO's will take 2 more coats and Striketh 1 more coat.

OMG...so pretty.  I want to put my hands all over that second one.  That sounded wrong but I don't care :P  I was worried the purpleheart would loose some of its purpleness from the varnish, but it looks awesome.

IDK if you read my warning about purple heart but it either darkens to a deep deep purple (almost black) over time or it turns into a rich chocolate color. It depends on the exact species. Wood workers aren't sure if it's exposure to light (UV) or oxygen that does it.


But it will take a good 5-10 years before this happens. Here's a link http://www.hobbithouseinc.com/personal/woodpics/purpleheart.htm
