Cherry with Rhodium

[JohnGreco]

I love the warmth of Cherry and thought it added great color to the Rhodium hardware. Definitely a favorite of mine so far, but then again most of them are

I hope you had a Merry Christmas!

Hey, I just went and looked, I got a pile of Black Cherry blanks in my stash! I'd forgot all about them until I saw this topic and how great this finished timber looks....guess I know what I'll be doing after I get done with that list of "Honey-do's"!?!?!

BTW, your fit-n-finish look perfect!

Yeah, real nice look. What's the kit and where'd it come from?

 

[JohnGreco]

Thanks, folks

The kit is a Tycoon from PSI. Good feel and weight to it and a nice option for a mid-range kit. If you get one, thread the tip into the couplers before pressing them, otherwise the threads tend to collapse in on themselves :/

I've never noticed that issue on the Navigator from Woodcraft or the Jr. Gent II from CSUSA! Is PSI using plastic instead of brass, or am I missunderstanding your statement?

Yep, the black threads you see on the body are plastic and the outer edge isn't reinforced by the inner brass. That said, the cap feels really nice screwing it on- I just wish they only had the internal cap threads made from plastic. I don't like the metal-on-metal feel of threads personally.
