Handmade Tree of Life- Patina & Regrind (Special markings)

  The Tree of Life is designed after the classic "Lincoln" or "T-Handle" with my own spin on it... there are NO straight lines. Rather, my design is drawn and cut to be a series of radius' that continually flow...   Handmade from 1/2" thick solid brass. The finger stalls are cut at an industry standard 1" diameter and then filed out completely by hand. Sure, I could shape up the stalls with a machine, but by going old school on these, it gives me a true feel for what I'm doing, and what you all are receiving. The end result is buttery smooth contouring that literally gives the fingers a place to rest...   The crowns of the ToL have been kept slightly wider than the descending walls. This keeps the fingers further away from the impacted object, and further protecting the digits. Each stall partition has been dipped or "gullied" to allow the fingers to widen out and rest as closely as possible when making a fist.   The trunk leading down to the brace is wide enough to create a solid feel
