Did some work to my La Marzocco GS3-MP. Side panels are African Padauk with a curly maple laminate stained ebony. The portafilter, steam control, and paddle are Gabon ebony with a Padauk stripe and then a bit of carving on the side panels. Satin finish. Now I need to figure out what I am going to do with the group cap.

Incredible. That PF handle is beautiful. The side panel is awesome, too, though I doubt my wife would be pleased with an image like that in our kitchen :D.

Parts for a very, very vintage lever espresso machine. This is a restoration project but the original portafilter handles and controls are in bad shape with no replacement. So, make them. Walnut in an oiled finish. The portafilter handles have a square shaft that runs the length of the handle that I had to hand chisel. The lever handles were the real crazy ones requiring them to be drilled completely through from 2 different directions using 3 different sized bits and get them to all align up in the middle. Then turn friction fit caps to cover the holes. The duckbill controls are steam/water paddle replacements. The tape is to identify the handle to the end cap as each is turned to fit the specific handle.
