While waiting for the glue to dry turned a couple of fids for braiding and knot work.
Top to bottom; mystery wood, lyptus, and ebony.
Good skew practice and a nice way to use up some small stuff if you know anyone into knots.
Kind of enjoyed turning the ebony actually. Sharp skew and high speed turns like a dream.
The lyptus handle I tried a new texturing idea and just took a whole lot of small divots out leaving behind a bunch of tiny facets. Doesn't really look like much (maybe better in a brighter wood) but feels really nice in the hand.
