Here comes the Judge!

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

Got a commission to make a gavel for a newly elected judge who will be sworn in in January.

The Wood is Paduk. The finish is two coats of Butcher Block Oil, allowed to dry for a week then buffed with the Beal System.

Sure hope he likes it.

[Barry Stratton]

Really nice Bruce. I'm sure he will love it!!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Those ought to get you a "Free Pass" from jail the next time Bruce! Excellent work.

[Ernie Nyvall]

Like Ken said, I believe you will have a friend in the justice system. Nice job Bruce.

[Jim Becker]

Very nice, Bruce!! Did you make a "knocker block" that matches, too??

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

Sorry, Jim. Ran out of the Paduk.

Well, Jim, I reread your post. The guy buying it didn't want one, but when I brought it up again, he said that he would see.

I have a Friend that Laser engraives some of my pieces. On one side it states the Judges name and on the other "Justice with Mercy"

Great looking gavel Bruce. Travis could probably use one to aid in rendering his decisions for the Holiday Turning Contest...

[Keith Burns]

Great looking gavel Bruce !! I'm sure da judge will be pleased, at least you better hope he is !!:D

[Bill White]

Hope that you had as much fun sanding the padauk as I did the first time I turned the stuff. Jeesh. I had the greasy dust everywhere, but it sure finishes well. Looks great as expected.
