Sassafras Eggception

Gorgeous! Love the contrast between the sassafras and the ironwood. Great piece, Michael 👏🏻👏🏻

I knew this was your work before I clicked on it. I would call this an advanced fidgeting device with intrinsic beauty.

Superb piece Michael!

Same thought as Paul-- I knew it was yours from the style but also from the photography which is spot on! Great design and perfect execution. I particularly like your wood choice for the ball.
I will be the first to ask: how'd ya get that ball in there!

fascinating and what a perfect egg shape and “yolk.” I’d be eggstatic if I made something like that!

Great job love it Michael!

An "eggceptional" piece! Great egg form and I really like that little bead around the entrance hole - nice visual detail and probably adds a little strength to the opening as well. I assume there is a magnet(s) involved here?

Thanks a lot everyone!! These egg pieces are pretty fun to make. A lit bit of everything in one package.

@Will Armstrong tue diameter of the small egg is about 0.5-1mm larger than the size of the entrance hole. Little bit of force pops it in the cavity for good!

@Tom Gall thanks! It does add a little bit of strength to tue entrance, but I mostly added it there for the nice shadow line. I’ve made a version that doesn’t have any embellishment around the entrance and it just looks too bland. And yep, a magnet In the egg and the pedestal! Love those magnets. 😃

Very graceful Michael! It looks like someone took a bite of the big egg and revealed a small egg!!
