ok, here is the purpleheart ready to go on the shopsmith, followed by a shot of the purpleheart's fantastic grain after being sawn.
next we have me lathing and the messy side effects.
starting to be rounded off; marking for different sections with a sharpie. also, the final form begins to take shape!
Hey...nice MARPAT kilt.
(Marine Pattern)
Where did you get that thing?
strip sanding; thumbpad sanding (this can be dangerous, don't try it at home); thumbnail sanding; edge sanding in the grooves. all done with 220 grit.
macro shot of polished grain thus far.
sectioning the 3 handles (aren't shopsmith's cool?); cleaning up the ends; evening the end; final cut
polishing the ends (is there anything a shopsmith can't do?); making a bevel
brushes thus far; macro of grain
