Made this (my first Sierra) around last August . Rescued the wood from a broken old 19th c Irish shillelagh. I love how these old woods age showing wonderful rich colours.

A tad lean at the top end but a great effort Ed, forgiven if it was your first and all that time ago when you were just an egg in turning world.
Was this shown to show off your camera skills?
