Handcrafted Dop Holder – Artisan Edition
Expertly crafted from a blend of fine hardwoods—like walnut, maple, cherry, and oak—these dop blanks showcase the natural grain and character of premium wood. Hand-finished with a smooth protective lacquer for lasting durability, each piece is individually made with unique grain patterns and coloration. Because they're seconds, you'll find minor cosmetic imperfections—but the wood quality and function are identical to our standard grade.
Why Choose These?
These seconds and imperfects are a fantastic value for faceters who don't mind a little hands-on prep work. While the mounting holes are slightly undersized, they're an easy fix for anyone with basic woodworking tools.
The Deal
Holes a bit snug? No problem. A quick pass with a hand drill, reamer, or even fine sandpaper on a dowel gets them perfectly sized for your collets. Spend 5 minutes prepping, save significantly on cost.

Easy Fixes
