Now to decide which I want to be mine. Can the bead blasted get Cerakote finished at a future date if one were so inclined
One of each LOL... yea that solves it! 
(JK, my wallet's not that fat)
I did a lot of bead blasting when I was in motorcycle mechanics school many years ago. Amazing machine - makes almost anything metal look bran new in seconds. How's it work on titanium? I know the Ti can be hard depending on how its tempered but its not that hard is it?
How hard would it be to heat treat it so it comes out red by the atty and layer it so its blue to natural as it goes down? I think a tri-colored Ti mod would look really cool.
I know its kind of a black art to get the colors right so I'll probably just go with the bead blasted finish. I don't wan't to spend all my time polishing finger prints. Besides, this one will probably end up being my out and about mod. And of course, never leaving my sight.
Was I supposed to get some mail? Or am I waiting for my turn? No worries, I just don't want to miss anything.
I'm really excited about this one!

Is there two shapes? That one looks more rounded than the op.Bead Basted with squonk holes non blasted:
All Bead Basted:
Fly Mill Finish:
Price: The same
Yeah, three actually. That was a special request from a woman who wanted it small to fit her small hands. . It's as small add you can go and still not have any over hang with a 22mm atty. It's rounded all the way on both ends. The pic below shows just the corners rounded on the matte, media blasted mod and the button side fully rounded while only the corners are rounded on the atty side . Those are the other two shapes I do.
There's a half n half rounded 26650 in there too in matte hiding in the middle. ...

dammit man, this is going to be REALLY hard to resist 
love the squonk holes!! I see a brass model in my future but I've gone over my vape budget for this month already so we'll have to see about next month

Very nice!
Is there any advantage to having ripples in the squonk holes? I'm thinking I might like to have mine smooth instead.

Bronze looks awesome!
I gotta say this little bronze hitter is growin' on me fast!
Thanks I agree. I never would have thought to try it but it was a special request from a guy who is super cool so I went with it...
Wait till you guys see them after their spa treatments.

Timascus Titanium:
Would it be possible to get results like this by using a torch? I would love to have a mod that looked like that block on the right.
Or like the one on the left for that matter.

Yessir! That my friend is doable, it's a fairly random process but those results are in the ballpark for sure. The blue n purple are my favourites too.
Absolutely, I cut the hole last so it comes out shinny aluminum, looks great against color. Especially that nice blue. Cerakote is $50 bucks. Any color you want.i'm thinking rounded, with smooth squonk hole, cerakote in yves klein blue
Very cool... So I think I have my material (Titanium) my shape (rounded & part rounded with smooth squonk hole) and color (torched blue/purple/red) but what are the options when it comes to buttons?
Maybe a matching torched titanium button? IDK what would go good with that color scheme; any suggestions?

LOVE the .357 casing for button. You are killing it here!
Working on some cerakote stencils. This first coat of three or four colors: crimson.
