i get bored sometimes and i have a friend who likes to gamble a little bit to much .
a couple weeks ago he lost his fav bowl and hasn't stopped whining about it since . so i decided to make him a new one .

one thing I've always hated is how cheap and crappy feeling store bought bowls are ... so i started with a chunk of 4140 for the tournament size domino . and went with 01 tool steel for the dice , stem and bowl . its a little heavy so if you drop this guy on your pinky toe you will feel the quality of 100% American made tool steel .

total time to make was about 6 hours each , maybe not the best use of my free time .....
