I found myself smiling at the different colors in the green heart...then contrasted against the purple heart...wow! Adding the sliver to the handle was perfect. What a talent God has given you! Yes, a person can train to turn wood, but only an artist can see the hidden jewel waiting to emerge.

OMG - great use of a beautiful piece of greenheart. I have some old chunks of GH that were used for the lock gates in Bristol. They were replaced after about 70 years with new ones 15 years ago. And I rescued 3 chunks as they were due to be thrown out. Now I have a fabulous use for a piece of it. Beautiful work tool and gorgeous execution.

Beautiful work! I was watching with the sound off because my hubby is watching the football game, so I didn’t know exactly what you were making until I read some of the comments. I’m thinking that it would be the perfect weapon to keep by the door to ward off any intruders! It’s short, so you don’t need as much swinging radius as a baseball bat. It’s hefty enough that it dam be used to knock a firearm out of an intruder’s hand before clobbering him over the head to render him unconscious. It’s a sad state of affairs that we live in here in the US, where crime is rampant enough that I see a self-defense weapon first off when seeing a beautiful piece of woodworking.
