A bit more bloodwood for another customer.

Dave, is that the Rancilio PF you were talking about? Unfortunately, that is what I am using now. How much would you charge for another of those?

Drop me an email. The address is in the first post or hit the envelope under my avatar and we can discuss it. And yes, that is a Rancilio portafilter. The customer had it shipped to me from ChrisCoffee so I could have a template to build it from. The portafilter has a tapered shaft with two different sized dog stops that have to be manually chiselled into the handle, and it takes no less than 3 separate drilling's from both ends of the handle to get the hole bored correctly.

Here are my Bacote handles (and tamper handle) from Dave installed. The picture appears somewhat darker than real life, but they have certainly darkened nicely from the time of Dave's picture. The wooden handle feels very nice in the hand.

Red Nara. This is one of my favourites, love the color/grain/contrast of the wood. Another set for an Elektra A3.

Mazzer doser lids and two custom sized hopper lids in Cocobolo along with the steam knob for a Vivaldi, matching portafilter handle and he wanted a Bacote tamper handle. The steam handle is freshly turned and has not oxidized to that pretty red/brown color. Cocobolo is actually a pretty purple when freshly cut, then it oxidizes to that color everyone likes.

Myrtelwood for a Quickmill and some Lacewood with a catalyzed gloss finish. Photos don't do Lacewood/Leopard wood justice.

I couldn't stand it any longer. I pulled the trigger on an olive wood porta-filter for Ms Silvia to match the tamper that Les made for me.
