Thanks ya'll --
Wilburt - Ipe is awesome stuff. Lasts forever, and you sure do spend the money for that lifespan-- but you only do it once.
bellgnte -- thats ok - Chrome or black is nice, but it's been done to death... I'm weird and different anyway, woodworking and my Harley are passions of mine, so why not ?
Steve, yeah I turned 'em on my Jet lathe. No face plate tho. Those things cost money. I fabbed up a redneck pin chuck and went to work.
Stopped and picked up a piece of black/white ebony today and a stick of birds eye maple for the next piece for the bike---and I got a piece of dark walnut gifted to me for another bike part <grin>
I have to make another timing cover - A friend in SoCal wanted the one I made, so back to the bench I go.
I'm going to make a different air cleaner cover too - I found a very nice burled piece of cypress (even better than the one on the bike already) so I am dying to see what comes out when I start peeling back the layers.
Stay tuned--
