Just finished this gavel over the weekend.

Kingwood - tung oil "finish" and beall buffed.

Attaching the pics is always a good idea:D

Now THAT'S pretty! I like everything about it. Great work!

[Ted Calver]

Very, very nice! Is it a gift? If so, someone will be pleased.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Outstanding finish! Love the detail work - very clean! Wood grain really speaks on this one. Very nice work!

[Benjamin Dahl]

Jason, I remember when you mentioned this project a few months ago and it turned out great. Should make your wedding day even more special. I agree that the finish is excellent.

Now Jason, that is a gavel.

[Curt Fuller]

Man, that's a beauty Jason! You've done a great job on that. Do you have any plans for it? Like going to a judge or something.

[Shane Whitlock]

Beautiful!

[Jonathon Spafford]

Awesome work... the spindle work is very crisp and the finish is gorgeous! Great job!

[Joash Boyton]

Very Very nice!

[Jason Slutsky]

Thanks everyone for the compliments.

Ben has a good memory but for those who asked...This will be presented to my friend who is a judge and will be performing my wedding ceremony in a couple months.

As for plans...I used the excellent tutorial on www.turnedtreasures.com (http://www.turnedtreasures.com) (I did not thread the handle) as well as received some advice from people in my turning club.

Nive work the parts really work well together

[Mike Ramsey]

Fantastic job on that beautiful wood!

[Rich Stewart]

Beautiful job. I love the way that Kingwood finishes. My son got me a piece of it for Christmas one year and I made a couple weed pots out of it. I hope that is a calm judge as it seems almost a shame to beat it on the whatever you call that poundee piece.

[Quinn McCarthy]

Nice job Jason

I hope you get time off for good behavior.

Great job and outstanding wood. Hope to see it in person at the meeting next week !

[Bernie Weishapl]

Wow that is beautiful Jason.

[Keith Burns]

Jason, you have created a work of art with this gavel ! Great work !:) :)

[Nancy Laird]

Joel, two beautiful pieces. I too hope that the judge is calm, cool, and collected. I'd hate to see either piece with pound marks on it!

Rich,

I liked the Kingwood a lot also. I found it to be much like cocobolo to work but easier to sand/finish since it's not nearly as oily.

[Neal Addy]

Outstanding! That is a beauty! Very nice detail work on the handle. I'd be willing to bet that this judge will show those around and you'll soon have requests for more.

[Barry Stratton]

Beautiful job Jason. I'm not meaning to take away from anyone elses work with this comment, but that has to be the nicest gavel I've seen! The wood is "alive" and the detail is outstanding!!!
