First plugs
Hey everyone, it's been a while since I've been around. But I finally started making some plugs. Nothing awe inspiring yet, but hopefully soon

This is the first, it's made of zebrawood. I'm making more now out of purple heart.

Nice plug .
How hard was it to turn the zebrawood ?
I've worked with purpleheart B4 and it was hard as a rock , have you tried turning it yet , and if so , how bad was that chisel chatter ?
