In general, all of these tools which I make are turned from Ambrosia or Spalted Maple. I find the figure resulting from the ambrosia beetle are attractive. I have a number of different woods, so if you have a specific wood that you wish to have for the handle, please let me know.

Default Recoil tool

I recently purchased the book, published 1965, entitled "Lugers Unlimited" by F. G. Tilton, MSgt, USAF. And, on page 17, found the following photograph and information. It could have been the basic design of the older tool which I had seen earlier, and the one which I used to design my reproduction which I offer for sale here on the Luger Forum.

Thumbs up

Jim, you make a high quality and great looking tool. Frankly, its the best looking tool on my bench. Its a work of art. One of these days I will actually use it to change a spring (LOL) but for now it just sits and looks pretty. I love mine.
