well, the weather was a bit more cooperative today, almost 20. i decided that it was time to try my hand with one of ruth's kits. it is made of some of the cherry that don orr sent me (with a box of other stuff) a while ago, with one of the new dollar coins inset into the top. i used the back side, as it will cut down on the number of questions as to who it is:huh::dunno:, as everyone recognizes the statue of liberty... :rofl::rofl::rofl:

no calipers, no bushings involved. the base of the mandrel is the same size as the top of the stopper. i made the inset for the coin with a coin specific forstner bit from rocklers.
