G'day!
A customer asked for a lighter body and darker cap. Went through my stash and thought these would go well together. The spalting lines look fantastic!
She wanted a natural finish, so sanded to 800 and rubbed in some bees wax polish.
Fully sleeved with ebonite, section is also ebonite.
Added a watch crown roll stop and a paua shell finial.

That is very, very well done. Several elements I find appealing: The watch roll stop (NICE), the spalted Banyan and the ebony are a great match. A unique look - works for me! 👍 👍

Never gave it too much thought but using different woods for the cap and body works really well here. Something I'll consider in the future for sure. Well done mate!
