One Customer's opinion
I carried my tamper around the house with me the first three days before I could finally just leave it in the kitchen.
These are one of a kind lovingly hand-crafted items that give so much enjoyment - I would like to think that the
person making these beautiful items was enjoying making them as much as I was enjoying using them. So please
give Les some room to enjoy what he does. If you didn't place your order sooner, then just be thankful that your
order is placed now and that someday you'll have your tamper - forever." Michael B

HOW TO ORDER A TAMPER
I am a small shop, and Paypal is the only way I can take payments over the Internet efficiently. If you don't see what you like, e-mail me and we can
figure something special out! I enjoy doing custom orders and don't charge extra for them. I try to build inventory when I have time. So if you order
a custom tamper it will be made before I build more inventory. As soon as you order a tamper, I put it on a list to be made. I try to get them done as
fast as I can. The whole process does take time. From start to finish it takes over a week to make a tamper. As a matter of efficiency, I do make
more than one tamper as I proceed through the various steps. Finishing the base alone takes 14 steps!

Two nice tampers that have left for their new homes. The tamper on the left is from
some very rare Rosewood Burl. A widow was selling her husbands old stock and I
was able to get this true Rosewood that was cut in the 1930's. The tamper on the left
is from some Koa wood that I bought directly from Hawaii. It has some nice crotch
figure and some nice color as well. I have just a few blanks of this wood available.

Two Desert Ironwood tampers. The tamper on the left is a very nice standard Ironwood
tamper. The one on the right came from the very expensive Burl. The cost of a standard
Desert Ironwood tamper is 70-80 dollars depending upon which supply it came from.
The Burl tampers are 150.00. I have a nice supply of Desert Ironwood, but it is getting
more and more difficult to get. It isn't the easiest wood to work with, but the beauty is
amazing.

This is how I have to suit up to turn Cocobolo (picture on the
right). It is one of my favorite woods, but it doesn't like me. I
am no longer going to take custom orders out Cocobolo. I lost
almost a month in the shop due to a bad reaction. I will suit up
on occasion and make Cocobolo items and post them. It is a
beautiful wood, but I must limit my exposure to the dust.
