The shorter one in the foreground is also Blackwood, with an orange oil finish*.
They ain't perfect, but they were definitely fun to make. I'm figuring $65 each plus postage and handling. PM me if interested, we can work something out.
I can guarantee there will be no two alike.

I have a Jacob's chuck and a long drill for exactly that purpose, as it turns out. I'll see what I can do.
ReplyDelete*Blackwood it isn't. I've checked my inventory. Although the bottom one looks as if it were Blackwood, it's actually from my African Ironwood stock.
