Thanks for the compliments guys! I hope to install a nice extra dense fan knot from Maggards to really complete the project!

Awesome idea, and well executed

Great job Vern. Looks good.

Now there's something that isn't very common. Love it!

I've done a few, but am itching to do some stacked exotics. Have a couple knots coming that I think will be perfect for the projects.

Really cool design and execution, Vern-I agree that it looks kinda K-barish.

And not to hijack, but I'd like to hear from either of you about stacking pieces for turning, which is on my radar to try. Andrew-I remember you saying something to me about it on Instagram. I guess I just need to talk myself through it before I try it. So obviously you have to have your pieces totally square. I think I remember you saying to drill a 5/8" hole and epoxy everything together with a dowel so they don't come apart on the lathe? Is that right? Please correct me if I am wrong, as I want to try this with some expensive tropical hardwoods, and don't want to screw my 1st one up.

I'll put together a post with pictures and details on how I do it. It'll just be easier than explaining through text.
