STROBEL

Dave's most recent personal project, in preparation for the upcoming AGE show in Vegas, is his new signature line of worked murrini blow-out tubes.

Ranging in height so far between 18"-22", all lathe-made with 50mm X 5mm clear tubing and Strobel's own in-house color tubing...

500 of these are to be released, all ti-signed by Dave and numbered...

Most have a single wig-wag section set between two black sections for a lip, but Dave has made a few with double-stacks...

Lo-pro 18/14mm bushing-style diffusers with matching worked sections and slides with millis (with production using super-beefy joints to commence tomorrow I think!)...

What I like to refer to as his "Chaos History," a collection of several murrinis Dave has created over the years, formed into one larger image...

And just some mega-tight Strobel wig-wags! The plan Dave told me about was to start doing triples on them from now on; a wig-wag inside a wig-wag inside a last wig! (Which also creates a thicker equals more durable base as well!)

There were a few at the beginning of this series that didn't quite match color-wise, but from here on out, all tubes will have matched worked sections throughout. There should be a lot more options as far as color schemes to choose from, as well as murrini selections (US flags, black widow spiders, and skunks so far; aliens, insects, aquatics, ?!? to come...) over the course of the next few weeks, and SHINOBI GLASS will keep you updated for sure! Thanks for looking everybody!
