Those look stunning. Really nice job.cannonfodder wrote:Ironwood burl for an Olympia Cremina. Do not get orders for Ironwood often. The wood has gotten very expensive. I wish I had made a set for myself years ago before the wood got so insane expensive.

Little holiday project for myself. This started as a ground and heat treated blade blank. I did the shaping, file work, jimping, sand/polish/etc... Scales are water buffalo with white streaks, bone wedge, pins are made from 1/16 silver nickel rod with stacked brass and stainless washers and the blade has stainless thrust bearings. Turned out nice in my opinion.

Would you do side panels of a Slayer machine?cannonfodder wrote:We all spend a lot of time selecting and obsessing over out espresso equipment. In the end little differentiates our kit from each other. Now you have the option to truly personalize your machine to reflect your personality. Add a wood portafilter handle or a complete set to truly personalize your machine.

You would need to send me the side panels off the machine to use as a template.

These handles are absolutely gorgeous, cannonfodder!!!
We have a nice piece of clear Teak stock that never got used on the sailboat. Bet it would look great turned down for handles/levers, though not as stunning as these you have in your pictures.
The size of our Teak stock is 2.5" x 2.5" by about 24". No idea what that would cost today. It's been kicking around for many years waiting for a project that has yet to happen.
