La Marzocco GS3 espresso machine parts. Side panels and group cap made from Wenge wood. The owner wanted contrasting portafilter handles and steam control turned from Macassar Ebony. It will look nice once they are installed on the machine.
Couple coffee stirrers in cocobolo. The hard part is turning the toothpick diameter ends without breaking them. finish is thin compound Cyanoacrylate, super glue.

And Dave what's the possibility of replicating the contour of the rubberized LM portafilter handle (I like Jim S.'s Kingwood myself )? Now that would be sexy...
It feels amazing reminds me of a wood steering wheel I had on my Mercedes, you will never want to touch plastic again
Group caps, steam/water controls and brew lever controls in walnut for a Kees van der Westen Spirit and Speedster. There is some nice curling in a couple of the Walnut caps.These are headed off to Taiwan.
