I like it. Wish I had one. One of the pictures shows the Ipe weighed 44 ozs. Is that correct?

Very nice. How did your turning tools hold up to the ipe? Did you have to stop and resharpen often?
Nice looking mallet, Rick. You mentioned the dust collection on the lathe. Did you happen to take a pic or your setup? That's something I haven't had much success with.
Thanks, that is REALLY nice Rick!
Are you making one for you too?

2) Where do you get Ipe? I've been looking for a decent source for years. Please share!
Beautiful work!
3 things:
1) Please tell me you used some serious respiratory protection. Ipe dust is NASTY on your lungs, much worse than most other woods, especially when you get to the finer stages.

3) Did I mention, awesome work?! I like the feature line where the handle and slabs come together, very nice!
