Left is Wenge with some yellow species of wood from Asia(I think?) idk I found it in the splinebrary (Which is just a bucket in my shop right now, but one day it will be something beautiful too).
Right is walnut and purple heart with a strip of either Padauk or bloodwood for shits and gigs.
Left is my favorite. I got more and more excited to turn it as I glued up the blank like 3 or 4 times.
Absolutely gorgeous!
I agree, the left is the coolest looking, but the right is amazing still!
Are these survival flints? They look neat, but I can’t tell what you made!
Yes! Sorry, for some reason I thought the alt text would display below the picture. They are flint fire strikers. The big silver bit is magnesium that can be scraped off with the tied on steel striker piece and then you can light just about anything on fire with that by striking the flint, which is the smaller black cylinder.
