You may remember that Karson and David visited me last month and gave me a couple of pieces of really special wood.
Well here is the first project. I know, I have posted some rolling pins before but this one is a reverse of the previous ones. The others were mostly light with a walnut knot.
This is the piece of Sapele. The Celtic Knot is made from Maple and Walnut. The finish is pure mineral oil.
Thanks, Karson!! BTW, I still have enough of the Sapele to make one or two wine stoppers.
Comments and critiques are always welcome!

My wife loved it. She commissioned three – for her, daughter, and our daughter-in-law. I read your blog, which I found to be quite clear and helpful in understanding the cuts and layout, but I think I may have a simpler approach. If it works my way I’ll post it. Otherwise, I’ll post pictures of the pens I wind up making from the scraps.
