Here is a labor of love. I have been pondering ideas of some new tampers for some time now. I decided to start with something like this. It is a very nice piece in your hand and I would consider it a desk tamper. It is hand made of Gabon Ebony and all the metal you see is solid Sterling Silver. The tamper is of my angled design and made of heaver gauge silver than my usual tampers. It is made of heavy 4 gauge silver which is .204 in diameter. I secured it with epoxy and also pined in the Ebony. The silver sleeves and also secured with epoxy and then crimped. The stand is also Gabon Ebony. I used a vintage Stanley 22 block plane to cut the flats on the stand and then I used a ECE Rabbet plane that I modified to cut a full radius for the channel where the tamper sits.. The body of the tamper is .550 in diameter and the length is 4 ½ inches. It also includes a silver polishing cloth. Built to last a lifetime! Thank you very much for looking.
