This putter was made to honor my client’s sister

This putter was made to honor my client’s sister who passed away. We embedded her earrings under acrylic, and included some of her ashes in there as well. The wood is leftover from a bar top he made in his house as a special area to remember her. This guarantees that he’ll be telling her story on the golf course for years to come.

Shipped over a dozen putters today, and still have

Shipped over a dozen putters today, and still have a long ways to go before I’ll feel comfortable with the holiday rush. I’m trying to get everything shipped by the 15th just to be safe! Custom Christmas Putter orders are officially closed, but I’ll be launching a custom ball marker and repair tool builder this week for last minute Christmas gifts. Might do a few Black Friday specials, but don’t hold your breath 😂 Plenty slammed as is!

This one looks like opals embedded in the surface

We’re cranking on projects to make sure that everything is done by Christmas. We’ll be shipping almost half of our current inventory within the next week... I also have tons of people requesting custom ball markers and repair tools. That builder is almost done and will be released soon!

The craziest acrylic pour we’ve ever done, by fa

The craziest acrylic pour we’ve ever done, by far. This is the Vermont flag emblem. To make it, we had to first engrave a brown base, and then sand it flat. Then we lined up the artwork in the laser, did a dusting pass to make sure it was perfect, and engraved the yellow section. Then repeat that for the dark green, light green, red, and white. One mistake at any of those levels would have forced us to start all over. But this is perfection.

Masters week is the best week, no matter when it h

Masters week is the best week, no matter when it happens. This putter was made with a pine cone, pine straw, and azalea leaf from the Augusta grounds, with a Magnolia wood base. So many stories written into this putter for the client. As close as I’ve ever been to walking the course! I’ve had a few putters played there, but have never been lucky enough myself. Have you?

I’ve had the honor of making many putters for veterans, from one made out of Saddam’s chair, to dog tags, to Air Force wings under acrylic. My putters look so different from anything else on the course, so they beg a question more often than not. And when that happens, these guys are able to talk about their service and experiences, and I just think that’s pretty special.

Thank you to all the veterans out there. Heroes, through and through.

To make this look, I first burn the surface of a maple burl. Then I stabilize the wood and put it in a mold. I’ve tried pouring yellow and green at the same time, but it blends too much. So this time I did a yellow and green pour, and then a straight yellow pour after the first hardened. Next up is a clear pour. I’m definitely going to be using this method a lot more in the future!

Peep those galactic swirls... beautiful colors here. It gets even better in the sunlight!

If you’re wanting a custom putter by Christmas, this is the last week to get one without paying an expedite upcharge. These putters take time to get right, especially custom ones, and I’ll definitely want to ship these by mid December to be safe. Shoot me a DM and let’s get your project on the books!

My favorite part of Christmas is the buildup to th

My favorite part of Christmas is the buildup to the day, from Black Friday to Christmas Eve. Christmas Day usually happens too fast, and then it’s all over, which is almost disappointing.

Election season is the opposite. The 2 years of buildup is stressful and feels like it takes forever. When Election Day finally comes, I can’t wait for it to be over.

Whomever you voted for, or even if you chose not to vote, I hope you have a great day and week, and I hope you have things to be excited about this holiday season and in 2021. I hope people treat you kindly, and I hope that you have friends around you to celebrate or commiserate with. I hope you’re able to show kindness to people who treated you poorly based on your political views, and I hope that you’re able reconcile relationships in 2021.

Your relationships with friends and family will likely have a larger impact on your happiness next year than the result of the election tonight. May there be olive branches throughout the nation tomorrow. God Bless America.

I think the dusting of gold on the side of this on

I think the dusting of gold on the side of this one is my favorite part. The canyon running through it from top to bottom makes it possible. Such a unique, special piece of wood. I’m trying to get more creative in the types of gashes and pockets that I plan into these putters, but it’s so hard to visualize the final result when I’m just staring at a piece of wood in a bin... I can definitely feel myself getting better at it, and I’m working on methods to make sure that the final putter looks as much like my initial vision as possible. It’s only taken 4 years to get to this point...

Who doesn’t love @swish41? This was a really fun basketball-themed putter, with absolutely gorgeous coloring throughout. What do you think of the basketball court alignment lines??

Here’s another one of the previously available starting blocks turned into a putter. No gloss either, just wax, in the mid mallet shape. I’m expecting to get another batch of acrylic in soon and I’ll make a ton of starting blocks again, but for now, I’m conserving what I’ve got for custom projects. We’re just about full on those too, so if you’re wanting a custom putter for Christmas, definitely get it on the books this week! Standard lead time is 6-8 weeks, so if you don’t want to pay to expedite it later, please don’t wait!

I designed this putter after a certain special lak

I designed this putter after a certain special lake, and this piece of wood made it possible. I even had it in hand during the phone call where we designed it.

The surface of this quilted maple makes it look like there’s waves reflecting off the bottom. I dyed the acrylic rather than using powder, and it’s perfectly translucent. There’s even a small grotto section where a piece of wood popped up and made a cave. If only every putter came together this easily!

Any Star Wars fans out there? This was a really fun project. We went with a lego lightsaber for the alignment line, two suns on the back, and the Death Star still in construction on the bottom. Black quilted maple for the base.

I’m working on a lot of wedding putters right no

I’m working on a lot of wedding putters right now! I think there’s a lot of people who postponed in March and April that are finally tying the knot. What do you think of this wedding ring alignment? I especially love how the acrylic forms rivers between the pockets of acrylic. Such a natural, map-like feel to this beauty.

The Ohio State putter is finally headed out the do

The Ohio State putter is finally headed out the door! I went ahead and chamfered the back corners, while leaving the front corners rounded. The overall weight came out to 361 grams, and it putts like a dream.

I had a pretty good idea of how I was going to attempt this putter when I started it, but changed pretty much everything during the process. There’s 8 different acrylic pours, 6 different 3D prints (plus countless mistakes), and I even had to buy a new 3D printer just to make this all work. But she looks sick, and she’s on her way!

Gorgeous burled redwood in the Widowmaker shape, with a Corvette alignment line. This one lets the beauty of the wood take center stage. Would you rather have an all wood putter, or one with wood and acrylic?

We’re cranking hard on putters right now! I’ve got a ton of really complicated ones in the works that require multiple delicate acrylic pours to get just right. I can’t wait to show you how they turn out! And as always, follow along in the stories for daily progress updates.

This is the putter cover that comes standard with every custom putter. It’s got a strong “national forest” theme, and reminds you that “Only You Can Prevent Three Putts.” You can always upgrade to leather or a full exotic, too, but I don’t want anything basic and boring covering my flat sticks!

Day one with the new camera and it’s already dus

Day one with the new camera and it’s already dusty... but I’m gonna try to capture some longer form videos to show the full process of certain special putters and projects from start to finish. I post tons of stuff to my Instagram stories, but I think this YouTube format will allow me to tie everything into a nice little bow.

If you’ve got experience creating YouTube content, I’d love to hear about your workflows! I’m big on automation and efficiency, so I’ll spend a week learning something just to save 5 minutes per video. I’ve still got a wife and kids at home, and I’d like to see them every now and then 😂

The #positano putter is finally finished! It took

The #positano putter is finally finished! It took a lot of tries and experimentation to figure out a design that was going to look good, look like Positano, and actually be possible 😂 I decided to split the scene into the church, the greenery, the buildings, and the setting sun on the water. I then engraved everything but the lines between them, and used hot glue to separate the sections for each acrylic pour.

The final result definitely tends toward the abstract, but the top of the church leaves no doubt that this can only be Positano.

The Manhattan Beach pier as an alignment line, wit

The Manhattan Beach pier as an alignment line, with Tajin embedded as the roof, and waves added to the ocean acrylic. The bottom of this putter is the Chesapeake Bay picture I posted several days ago.

I wasn’t 100% sure how the waves would turn out using this method, but it’s definitely good enough to add to my capability list. Normally waves are done with acrylic and blown back using a heat gun, but that’s a little bit too imprecise for my needs. So I took a wave image and laser engraved it into the acrylic, and then poured a color-shifting white acrylic over it. Worked like a charm!

We’re just about full on custom putter orders right now... literally don’t have any more boxes to put projects in... but the good news is that I’ll be shipping out several putters tomorrow, and we’re cranking through them at a solid pace! I’m taking lots of Christmas orders right now, so if you’re thinking of getting one as a present, don’t wait! It will require an expedited order soon!

If you’ve ever wondered what one of these putter

If you’ve ever wondered what one of these putters looks like at step one, this is it. These are wood burls, which are natural but rare deformations on trees. They create wild patterns of wood grain and surface bumps and valleys. I stabilize these pieces to make them harder and weatherproof, and then pour acrylic over everything to add color and depth to the piece. When you order a custom putter, I hand-select the perfect piece of wood that will create the exact look you want. You can easily see how no two putters can ever be exactly the same! It’s just physically impossible.
