Uncommon                 Gavel

- The Robin -

Material: Padauk, Gaboon Ebony

The shape of this instrument's head was a study in traditional planishing and repoussee hammer forms.  The octagonal faceted handle adds understated elegance while maintaining strength.  A matching sounding block was made with an antique violin peg taper reamed and installed to give a "target" for striking.  The instrument was employed by the 2021-2022 Most Excellent Grand High Priest of the State of Illinois.
