Ok I`ll ask

 

"what's a Moses staff"

[se7enthdevil]

it's a staff used for pomp and ceremony in church apparently.

 

a fella who lives locally comes from nigeria and it's a big thing out there as they are very religious and every time someone is ordained they buy one of these for the occasion.

 

it could be a good seller as he said that there are about 3000 people who go to the church in his fathers village. he's going back to nigeria to get his dads permission to start making them and selling them to the church goers.

 

32 1/2" long by 36mm at its widest and the shank is 25mm tapering down to 16mm at the tip.

here are all the skittles i've been doing.

here is a shield trophy i've just made for my own tenpin bowling league that i bowl in on tuesday nights at the heathrow airport bowl.

 

as they were passing round a sheet of paper in the league deciding what bit of crappy MDF they wanted to waste over £100 on i said that i'd like to make one that was worth winning and could be considered an heirloom.

 

it's made of cuban mahogany recovered from an old table top i got from ebay.

the top was faded and the underside was dark but once sanded it came up beautifully.
