When I saw the first pictures I thought you'd made some fantastic plane, or three matching shoulder planes. Then I saw it all joined together and it took me a few seconds to work out what it was. And I thought, gee, using that spectacular timber on a tool-aid seems sacreligious. But, having thought about it I think you're absolutely right - the more you use this the more you'll appreciate the beauty of the timber and the tool.
I learn something new every day (when I have my ears open!). Thanks.Bob C.
Never give up.

Cheers Poppa. Your reaction reminds me of when I made my first sheoak mallet. I stood and stared at it, it felt real good in the hand but I didn't want to use it because it was too pretty. SWMBO also said, that's too nice to use. But it has such a wonderful tactile feel and is probably still the best balanced of all the mallets I have made. I have 5 mallets of about the same size but it's become my first choice when I need a medium size mallet. I get a lot of enjoyment out of using it and I haven't even regretted dinging it a little too hard on the odd occasion.

That Jam looks fantastic Bob! Love the way it looks combined with brass - makes it perfect for tools and too good for jewellery boxes. Top job (Can't wait to get my teeth into some!!!)

Thanks for bringing this thread back to life again after 5 years. It took me a while to figure out what it was but now that I know I think it is a great tool and beautifull as well.

Gorgeous!
A beautiful and functional piece. Well done Bob!
I'm sure you have inspired many of us to do something similar, even if we don't make ours as beautiful.

I had a small length of Jam Wood about 70mm diam for turning small items, after turning a couple of items like egg cups etc I gave up as I would have warn out my chisels I was forever regrinding and resharpening. I must say the odd articles I managed to turn were stunning in appearance. I wonder how it compares with Lignemvita for hardness.
Cheers Mac
