I like the idea. I am thinking that you turned these on the lathe and put them together from the parts.

No, never saw a lathe. They were cut out on the bandsaw, the small one from the inside of the large one. They are all hand sanded, that is until I can afford a bobbin sander

The only drama was I cut the end back to front on the middle one.
