Nice job !
Do you have any "in the process" pictures. I'd like to see how it was built.

Glued wood together and turned it on the lathe, then cut it in half lengthwise and spaced out the two halves and added wood in between then a lot of sanding and shaping. Steam bent the handle and that's pretty much it.

Nice job! I wouldn't have thought it was wood either.

Very cool. What is the weight compared to a normal pump? Guess it depends on the wood for the most part.

I never weighed it but I can lift it O.K. so I suppose about 60-80 lbs. This one heaver then the rest as it is solid. I enjoyed making this one but it sure was a lot more difficult.

Hey rodder,
That is amazing! Good job. I'm an amateur woodworker but I have a pretty good idea what it took to build that. Truly a labor of love. Nice to see true craftsman are still out there
