Music Conductors Baton - Handmade - Ebony Wood Handle And Poplar Wood Tip - Steampunk
Great gift for a favorite music teacher! Overall length: 12" or 14" your choice Handle length: 2 3/4" Handle width at widest point : 7/8" Shaft diameter: 1/4" tapers to 1/8" Comes in clear plastic storage tube. I turned this music conductors baton on my wood lathe. The handle is Ebony wood. The baton shaft is made of poplar wood. Wood color is natural. The handle wood is finished with cyanoacrylate adhesive (super glue) which is hard durable and water resistant finish. The baton shaft is finished with a water based clear finish. Both top coat finishes remain clear over time. Have a favorite wood type or require a different length baton? Click on "request custom item" on the left side of my shop page and let me know what you are searching for. I do not glue the tip to the handle until just before shipping so changes can be quickly made.

For Spear Point Hunter's Knife - Stainless Steel Blade - Handmade Cocobolo Wood Handle5.0The blade and handle are fantastic. All aspects of the experience were outstanding. Charles was really friendly and communicated well. Between the messaging, and pictures, I knew exactly what I was getting. He was even kind enough to make a left-handed sheath for me.
