In the words of Virg, "RR". I've got a pair of these, and they came direct from Rand Robinson. I would think they are custom made for this application on a lathe, but I could be wrong. Mine are aluminum, and yours probably are too, but you might not realize it unless you unscrew the ends and see how light they are...
