Our turning meetings for The Chapel Hill Woodturners are rather casual and sometimes our president (Orlan) has a hard time keeping everyone quiet, not to mention the guys who always seem to be searching for a bottle opener for their "beverages". I thought this might help him out on both counts. Each piece is made from East Indian rosewood and zebrawood. Thanks to Mike Stafford for the inset idea on the striker plate. I just happened to find an aluminum case that fit them quite well after the foam was added. He's a GREAT guy and seemed to like it quite a lot when we presented this to him. The bottle opener looked quite sturdy, but I had to try it out to make sure :-) .... works fine. Tung oil on the zebrawood and both were Beall buffed. About 14" long.
Thanks for looking and all comments welcome, Don.
