Spinning top

Ok so this is just a really small projct it's a spinning top! I tried different desings of spinning top and by far this is the one that spins the longest ( 1min30secs) it's made of chakte-kok aka redheart. As always critics and comments are welcome

Very nice. I've made a few dozen over the years and am always surprised how small changes can make a big difference in how long they spin.

I've also noticed those small changes. I also noticed that some woods are better than others.

I too have made quite a few of them and the hard woods are needed. I have also used the metal tips. Tried the rubber ones but not happy with them. Weight distribution can make a difference. Also the shape of the top and bottom. More slant better spin. Nice job and thanks for showing.
