Gary requested a golf trophy with a golf club and ball, similar to the chisel trophies which rest on a long flat plinth. Here is the result. It was made to be presented as part of a golfing tour.
The club is modelled on a golf driver, with the head made from bubinga, the shaft from evergreen oak and the handle from ebony. It rests on a ball made from spalted beech, and the whole rests on an oak plinth. It is inscribed for the Godfrey Larque Winner using pyrography. The ball has a caption on it - "Duffer - fore!", which no doubt is a private joke amongst the players involved in the tour.
The trophy is finished with three coats of wax - Tripoli first, then White Diamond, then carnauba to finish, producing a hard wearing, high sheen coating.
Elm, sycamore, spalted beech, walnut, acacia, ebony
