The one on the left is a Liberty Click and the one on the right is a Sierra Super Button Click. Woods are Canary and the end caps on the Sierra are maple burl. It's more fun building the blanks than turning them. They are a bear to turn, even though these are not end grain. End grain ones are ten times worse.

They look incredible. I really like how the maple burl looks against the canary wood.
 
Very nice! Do you round them out some on a sander before putting them on the lathe? I would imagine you would need some very sharp chisels and, a very important tool in the shop, patience.

Yes I round them on my sander. The very first one I made, I did a really stupid thing and tried cutting the protrusions off with my band saw. I knew better as it was an unsupported cut. Blade grabbed, twisted the piece and snapped the blade. Sander is slower, but safe.
