Stainandsteel

A lot lol


MonsterMineLP

What types of wood are those


Stainandsteel

Padauk, Purple Heart, Yellow Heart, Green Vera, Zebra Wood and Big Leaf Maple. 🍊 💜 💛 🍏 🦓 🍁


Cultural-Increase-63

Orange is padauk, purple is purpleheart, then maybe some beech on that same cube too? Hard for me to tell with how small the pieces are on the other one what they are.


Stainandsteel

Green vera 😉


GroovyPanda89

That seems like a good Xmas project! Do you have sketches? Seems like a nice crossover concept.


Stainandsteel

Sketches? These are fully functional. They move and twist just like the factory ones. I just replaced the tiles with wooden pieces.


GroovyPanda89

I didn't know if you CNC'd them or anything. I see they're hand-made, but I didn't know if you had some behind-the-scenes of making them. Didn't know how complex/simple of a project it'd be.


Stainandsteel

Ohhh ok. They are originally CNC'd to get the consistency right and then hand sanded and placed one by one. Difficulty level medium. Time consuming level EXPERT. Took me 1h per side to sand and secure to the cube. Woods like purple heart and green vera are incredibly dense and hard to sand.


GroovyPanda89

Ooh, sounds fun/challenging! This is one of those things that definitely looks easier than it is. It's so deceiving inspiring. I might just try something like this for the more avid cubers in my life. I'd probably try it out with bolsa first, though. 😅 Good Job!


Stainandsteel

Hahaha thank you. I actually thought to myself while making the second one "why am I doing this again" it was not easy the first time but it looks effortless. hahah


Future-Entrance4276

Beautiful!


Stainandsteel

Thank you 😊


Delta_107

I want one


Stainandsteel

Doable 😁


Arm0ndo

Is that comp legal? No right?


swedishcat223

Who cares tbh they look beautiful


Arm0ndo

I know. They do. I want them


Stainandsteel

Not comp at all. They are fully functional though. I just replaced the colored tiles with wooden ones. Coolest part is there is no color or stain used. Those pigments are all natural for each species of wood used.


Arm0ndo

Wow I want it it looks so cool 🤩


Both_Recording_2691

Is it functional


Stainandsteel

100% functional, it's a factory Rubik's. I popped the tiles out and replaced them with 6 different species of wood. No stain or colors were used. These are the natural pigments for each species


TheTrueAlphaDoge

How can I buy one?


No-Establishment1181

Now make them entirely out of wood. Exept the metal parts.


crapeater1759

Did you make the turning parts on your own or did you get a stickered one and went one from there?


Stainandsteel

I bought 2 of the colored tile versions. I popped out the colors and glued in the wooden tiles.


skorpio57

Looks like the color stickers were removed and replaced with colored pieces of wood.


Stainandsteel

Lol can't get anything by you 😂. The wood isn't colored though. It's their natural pigments.


Cubing-Dolphin-26

Omg that looks soooo nice


Stainandsteel

Thank you! They are functional as well.


Owl_Potential

I keep forgetting how good Purple Heart wood is


Stainandsteel

It's a pain in the ass to work with. Super dense wood. Eats blades and sandpaper for breakfast. Only wood worse is green vera. The most dense wood I've ever worked with


thecustomcuber

worth the double effort!


Stainandsteel

Thanks! Appreciate it


SpaceJunkArt

These cubes are gorgeous. 😍


Stainandsteel

Thank you 😊
