  • This piece is certainly something special! I was contacted by a retiring British Army Major in the 2nd Battalion Parachute regiment as he wanted to create an award that could be presented to the best Junior Officer annually. The idea being that the tankard inside the piece is the officers to keep, but the tankard holder/display piece stays in the officers mess, taking pride of place on their oak bar top.
    Simon told me that he wanted the piece to look like a 9mm hollow point round, and I did my best to get the proportions correct. To accommodate the tankard, a slot needed to be cut in the side of the piece, and the stress while drilling and cutting into a perfectly finished piece almost killed me! But it was well worth it, to know that Simon was thrilled with the result, and something I made will become a highly regarded Military award within the battalion.
    An engraving plaque will be added to the piece, so that the names of recipients can be displays forever more..... I just hope that they don't cover up much of that beautiful grain.
    The casing is made from English Ash with some of the best grain I've ever seen, its been sanded to 10000 grit, and finished with three coats of Danish Oil, and 1 coat of wood wax. The bullet head is made from Australian Red Mallee burl, cast in epoxy resin.
    Let me know what you think of this piece. Sorry it has been a while since my last upload, I've had a lot going on, including taking delivery of my new Lathe, Bandsaw, and Pilar drill! More information about those to come in future videos, but if you want to check out where I got them from head to

    My videos are for entertainment purposes only. I am still relatively new to woodturning and some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest. When using any tools or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines.
    Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practise. The gloves I wear are tight fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT do anything you don’t feel comfortable doing.

      Brilliant…but can I point out…
      If something is one of a kind it IS unique and vice versa. They mean the same.
      People also mix up *rare and unique* all the time, which is the opposite of what you have done.
      Something cannot be *rare _and_ unique*, it is either one or the other, but not both.
      Your work is unique MEANS there is only one of its kind.
      If you make two or three only then it becomes rare. and is no longer unique. So you can say it is one or the other but not both

    Great all round wood working Harry and I couldn't help but notice you seemingly have new chucks as well as a new lathe. I'm delighted you incorporated the badge of my old regiment. I miss the jumps but I now do civilian free-falls and have one listed for tomorrow as the weather forecast is fine. I hope to get to 10,000 feet before exiting the plane. I've been buying from Axminster for more than 10 years and the reason I remain loyal to them is their reliabilty and top class after sales assistance.

      Thanks Alan, I've gone for a complete new package and upgrade thanks to my friends at Axminster.
      How did the jump go?
      So glad you appreciated the piece and thanks for sharing your story. This will be placed in the Officers Mess for many years to come and an annual presentation piece.

I’m with you, hope they don’t cover the wood with labels of the honored men. Maybe they will want a display for the piece that the honored recipients labels can be on the display instead of the piece.
