Uncommon                 Gavel

- The Gourgas -

Material: Ebony, Padauk

The Padauk core of this Ebony setting maul style gavel features ornamentally turned patterns of 24 flutes on the exposed faces.  A Padauk handle and Ebony bead set off the instrument.  The classical columnar shape of the body is echoed in the sounding block.  The ornamental turning pattern was one I developed for a competition piece I made in December 2023 for Ornamental Turners International, and won the "novice" devision with.
