Some of my earlier tampers

I made these back a few months ago. They were my first attempts and I have since improved a good bit on design. The stand I made as these were sold at a local tobacconist and I needed to provide my own display.
The first pic is a walnut tamp with spun aluminum base (my first time spinning, I now use stainless) and an acrylic cap on top.
The woods used on the tamps in the picture with them all on the stand, from the left: first two-Bubinga, second two-Jatoba (Brazilian Cherry), Cherry, Tiger Maple, Goncalo-Alves and Wenge and Wlanut.
Third pic is Tiger Maple.
and lastly we have Red-Heart
