Stunning Zav art (handles)
« on: August 21, 2016, 11:04:31 AM »


These Zav handles needed their own thread. I purchased a couple of wood turning blocks on eBay and commissioned Brian to create some of his art for me.   

Asian Burl turning block from Southeast Asia



And this is Brian's finished art work that arrived today:

As stunning as these handles look in the pictures, they are even more beautiful in person.  The club is very fortunate to have such a talented member in our midst. 

Thank you Brian @zavod44  for another amazing group of handles.  You were right, I have to do laundry after opening the package.

@Travis- I purchased them from eBay. This is the seller I bought them from. He does not have any for auction right now, just buy it now.  Pretty expensive wood. I paid about $35 each for two blocks.  Make sure you contact Brian (Zavo44) first as he has minimum size requirements for turning blocks to make handles from.
