It's been a while since I have made one of these threads so lets get back to it!

As you can imagine, we are itching to get back to the factory to pick some woods. But for now, the virtual vaulting is a pretty good experience and we have managed to put together some nice builds. We have less photos than usual, but here you go!

Now all we have to do is wait a year or so to see these. Can't wait.
 
It's gonna be a long wait but I'm looking forward to seeing how that "Custom 24 Frostbite Fade Madness" turns out.

So much awesomeness in one thread / trip Brian!!! I always get some different ideas from your builds...

...oh and I'm with Steve on that Mahogany billet needing to be a natural top (maybe with a very slight micro-burst edge).

That 1-piece top for the McCarty 594 is EPIC!!! *must look away*
