Royal Glam Ergodox Wood Wrist Rest

Given the delays on the infinity drop, I didn't get a chance to try these out until today, when my ergodox from ebay showed up. These are horrible; my wrists were irritated when using these. after only a few minutes. The wood is rough, it was sanded diagonally to the grain, the sanding left grooves in the wood, all of the edges are sharp, there was a chip missing on one wrist wrest, the two halves were cut from different pieces of wood, and the stain was just slapped on. I also didn't like the color of the stain, but the pictures here were accurate on the color so that is on me I guess. The attached pics show the grooves from where it was sanded, the second pic makes it more obvious once some of the stain had been sanded off during re-finishing. The third shows how sharp the edges are. The fourth is what I ended up with at the end of the day (still not finished, need to cure the varnish and then do a rub polish, so they are still a little rough.) https://d3jqoivu6qpygv.cloudfront.net/img_comment/B7BUZU_20150718_211942_HGDXD.png https://d3jqoivu6qpygv.cloudfront.net/img_comment/B7BUZU_20150718_211945_0FCTK.png https://d3jqoivu6qpygv.cloudfront.net/img_comment/B7BUZU_20150718_211945_HFUY8.png https://d3jqoivu6qpygv.cloudfront.net/img_comment/B7BUZU_20150718_211949_CI2FK.png https://d3jqoivu6qpygv.cloudfront.net/img_comment/B7BUZU_20150718_211952_0FCTK.png I ended up spending almost as much time refinishing this as it would have taken to make it from scratch.

My packaging was also god-awful. I think they came through mostly unscathed, but my box looked just like @mwilliams's pictures. Just wrap them in bubble-wrap or something.

Same was with mine.
