Going Away Present

Alright SSV Nation,

I haven’t posted much of my work lately, but thought this would be appropriate. It is a 20 MM aircraft gun barrel mounted on Bloodwood, which is the most dense wood I have ever played with). The mounts are Bubinga with inlays to the coins, patch and the nameplate. The nameplate is scrolled in Canarywood. I was so surprised to see a red streak within the Canarywood. Never seen it before. It is finished with Teak Oil. Feel free to ask questions. I totally enjoyed this.

Blood wood is tough. Only thing I've cut harder was Brazilian Cherry. Like cutting concrete.

 

Beautiful momento for someone.
