    My pick would be the Jarrah and Tassie Oak or the Camphor Laurel. Practical shape & beautiful Timber.

    Forgive my ignorance, but do the bases have a thread on them or ....?

    the base that i just made has an 8mm tapped hole in it then a 8mm stainless threaded rod ( bolt with the head cut off actually ) screwed in and extending into the handle about 40 mm . i just drilled a 6.8mm hole in the timber and screwed it on , if it comes loose i will screw it back on with some epoxy added to the thread but i dont think it will need it .

    Thanks for the info. I put my coffee machine in for a warranty job about 3 weeks ago. I just picked up a new one today. there nothing wrong with the plastic handled Tamp that came with it but I do like the wooden handled ones Ive seen here.

    as Pat said they have a 3/8 thread
    I grabbed a bit of all thread and glued it in a number of blanks
    that was so i could have a play with shapes and timbers

    when I get the chance I'm going to try an off centre turning

    To go back to the original question, i really like the simple shape of the jarrah one.
