My nephew who is a bartender asked me to turn him some Muddlers. Had to look up what they were. They are used in drinks to mash up spices. I turned them and then put them in a vacuum chamber and infused them with a food safe finish to hopefully make them water and alochol proof. Will test them out after it has has time to set well. They are top to bottom:
Walnut, curly Maple, Mesquite, Curly maple, Walnut, and Spalted Maple.

looks good - though I'd be cautious of the spalted maple - every bit of spalted maple I've ever turned was very soft. Not sure how long it will hold up.

Nicely done Sparky! That's an interesting turning project.

Nicely done , Sparky. I've made a few of those to help keep SWMBO supplied with Mojitoes.

The're nice . I like turnings with pronounced differences in diameters, well designed.
