Very nice work, that is a beautiful piece of wood and you did a great job with it.

A moderator will probably move this to the "Other Things We Make" forum.

Great job!

Jim,

It's definitely NOT "old hat". Very interesting look and a great piece of wood.

Questions: Isn't it awfully dark? Did you keep the object chamber fairly empty so light could get to the mirrors?

Yes, it has plenty of light. I used a Fostner bit and drilled it out till the side are thin. Drilled almost down to the place where the lens fit
