Gavel Turning
Before you can start to turn a gavel the design, size, and wood need selected. The design I used here is a traditional one that looks good and works well as a functional or presentation gavel. When I was first asked to make gavel samples for the Oklahoma State House of Representatives I did not have any idea exactly what size to make or what would be a good design. I ask the local library for help on with this information; the internet is a good resource now. Search for gavel or antique gavels. You can find samples of different shapes and sizes to get you started.
