Cherry handle with a 1 1/4 copper pipe furl, the body was a rusty chunk of 1/2 inch square, again the surface grinder came through.

Love it!  Interestingly enough, I made one of these for me and one for my neighbor - he does more wood turning than I do.  He uses it more than any other turning tool he has, after that is his parting tool.  The rest need to be dusted off when he needs them!

Glad to hear that Vinny. These inserts seam quite sharp, hope they work well have a package of 5, with revolving them they should last a long time. Lee Valley has a very similar tool but they want something like $170 for it.
