dimensions of a Windrose pommel

Post by Vladimir »

Can anyone give me the dimensions of a windrose brazil nut pommel? The site lists the weight, but not the size.

Specifically I need the height and the depth of the depression for rattan handles.

I didn't know they had two different styles of Brazil nut. I knew they had two metals, but I assumed the dimensions were identical.

Thanks.

that s what i thought until i ordered a few and what i received was not the same as the ones i had ordered before that.
the explination was that the bulk of what they sell comes from an international source and those orders take longer to fill when they run out so they have another vendor who makes them who is state side. the production cost is higher and they supposedly use a better quality of aluminium but they also dont come polished like the cheaper ones.
they sell the domesticly made ones as "premium" but i recently had an issue where one of the "premium" brazil nut pommels had a cavernous hole inside.
which not only throws the weight off but i carve those things into other shapes. cant do that with a huge pocket in them.
the "premium" ones also tend to be taller than the regular ones and i think the regular are a bit wider at the base.

Ok here's what I've got,
Both sets are 4 inches side to side and the premium was 2 1/8 where's the regular is 2 inches even.
Across the bottom they are both 2 inches. But the curvature on the regular s smoother and the premium is more pointed.
All they have in stock right now is the premium which costs more.
