Sorry for the constant tamper post. I have a problem. I should go see someone,

Nice one!

Nothing wrong with doing other stuff while away from the workshop. Same thing here!

Nice one, that is my favorite so far.

Did you drill the center at first or just carved your way through while progressing with the spiral?

I worked a spiral first. Originally I didn't plan on it being hollow. I was drilling a hole in the center as a place to hold a pick, but was off center and the drill bit came through the shallow part of the spiral so I then filed the spiral through and came out with this.

Thanks! Turned out really well even if the result was not as planned=)

Thats totally sweet man! I love the spiral, well done. Is it made from Mahogany?

It's a wood called "Kwila." It's real common here in Papua New Guinea.
