#engine-turning

This is from a local curly black cherry board with lots of gum lines in the grain, and I’ve almost used all of it; I’ll miss seeing it in the wood room. I added a pearly white seashell in the top of the handle set into an enameled aluminum cup with a thin ring of African blackwood around it, and some subtle engine turning on the top of the tapered 58.35 mm base. Then I figured I’d better quit messing with it.
