A buddy of mine made one of these for Frankie's Tiki Room in Las Vegas - so i had to get in on the fun. Shaped the dowel on the lathe and carved the handle. Total 13" long - 8" of muddler and 5" of Ku. Carved in Cherry(?), stained and finished.
*a muddler is tool for the bar. it is used to crush fruit leaves and spices. Think I'll go try it out now...
