This is a gift for my wife that she had asked for in 2007. Finally finished it. It is made from purpleheart and lyptus is finished with Tung oil. I think I may put a few more coats of finish on it.

Very cool. I made a bunch of these from that issue of Woodsmith. They sold like hotcakes last Christmas. I went with the maple and cocobolo as shown in the mag. I really like your wood choices here. Makes it original. That Lyptus is heavy and hard!

Yes it is. I might make a few of these and try to sell them at craft shows.
