Very happy to announce that my oldest daughter has finished with honors and graduated from Law School last week. The gavel and block is a gift from a loving dad to his daughter. Made with East Indian Rose Wood and American Holly. The Pens are made from teak from the original decks of the USS Wisconsin (BB 64), WWII battleship. See my tables post for the story of the teak wood! The pens were gifts to others who participated in the graduation.

Congratulations. You must be very proud. The Gavel and Block is beautiful. Seriously nice work! The attention to detail it spot on. I think any lawyer would be honored to have that!
Very Respectfully,
Nate

Congrats to you for a beautiful project and congrats to your daughter on graduating with honors. I’m not sue a lot of people fully grasp the level of commitment that entails.

From a fellow barrister, tell your daughter congratulations! And I’m sure about now she has good news from bar results, or soon will. That gavel is amazing. Unfortunately, none of the judges around here use gavels anymore.
Now she’ll have a desk you can fill up with all sorts of other woodworking projects. Business card holders, paper weight, letter opener.
