Palm Gavel Monkey Pod Tree

Handmade elegant palm gavel in seldom seen, unusual monkey pod wood. This is unusual, it has a thunder shake in the wood which is reflected in the price. A thunder shake, also known as an upset, is a natural defect in wood that is across the grain and hard to detect until an item is made. It is caused by shock to the wood, such as thunder or concussion during felling. Various causes are suggested, such as felling across obstructions, and failure inside the growing tree caused by high winds, growth stresses. So the tree has struggled a bit like we do. Great for auctioneers on the move, this ergonomic wooden palm gavel sounds good, looks good and feels good and fits in the pocket.
I designed and made this and none of my items are mass produced. Each of my palm gavels is different, unique and beautifully finished with beeswax polish to let the natural colour of the wood shine through. A great wooden gift or present for a mason’s apron pocket, an auctioneer, Best Man or toastmaster.  Good gift for anyone that appreciates the unique richness and quality of natural finely crafted wooden items.
