Love it Woody, excellent choice of wood, turned and finished to perfection...:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

Yes, I use a priest for working in the garage not as nice as that one but functional...

That is certainly a priest with no mistake Woody, that'll give a poor fish a headache. I love both the pen and priest, they're up to your normal standard of turning and finishing.

It's very posh ..looks more like the pope than a priest.

Question Woody is the Mallet made on the wood lathe ie the brass section, from solid or hollow?

Thanks Peter.

Hi Peter the mallet head is made from solid phosphorus bronze I used to make and sell them in 3 different sizes back in the days when I had a metal workshop but now we have moved I don't have the room for a metal work lathe
But if I had to make another one then it would be brass on the wood lathe

Grateful Woody Phosphor Bronze is a superior product and yes brass on the wood lathe something I know you can do well. Thanks mate.
