My first pair of DIY chucks that i made (and my first ever pair of chucks)

[Mok Gar]

While im sorting out getting a pair of silverfires i had to make some chucks i couldn't bare waiting any longer to start chucking! So this was my attempt, they work spin nicely and feel comfortable but they look kind of crap i guess, i dont know the wood they are made out of, they are 12 inch batons and a 4.5 inch chord which is an airport loop.
I haunt weighed them since i finished them, but before they were too light they still are a bit light but they have gotten heavier, i have this leather tape kind of stuff for grip and the exposed wood and the chord are treated with wax. How could i improve them?

Heres some pictures:




sorry about the bad image quality i had to video record them and then screen print still from the video as i couldn't find the wire to connect my phone or my camera to the pc >.<

Good job! you should spin them awhile and then you will know what improvements you want.
1 improvement mite be a larger more pliable cord.

I agree with Danceswithsticks, I would totally change the cord.... it's scary to see how thin it is, and it can cuase an accident 

Aside from that, it looks excellent! Good work!

Thanks Yeh the chord is thin but ive been non stop spinning them and it hasn't even made a scratch in them the chord still looks brand new I do have some other chord which ill use when i see this chord degrading but illh ave the drill the holes bigger
