Probably the nicest ever. Did the wood need to be shipped by armored truck?

It is getting that way. My last burl order fit in a small USPS shipping box and was almost $300 in wood. I can see the burl wood being all but non existent in another year or two. The non burl ironwood still has a decent supply but it is not cheap either. This tree takes nearly 1000 years to grow so the wood I am turning predates Columbus discovering North America.

From tree to shelf. No screws, no nails, precision jointery and a drop of glue. Made this for a friend.

Hand an order for a bunch of brew lever controls. Nothing else, just brew lever controls. OK, so I made a bunch of brew lever controls. Cocobolo and Paduk wood.

Had an order for a bunch of shaving brushes and Shapton-on-glass honing stone holders. Now back to more espresso machines.
