Nice job Bill.

What is the purpose of the locking knob on the barrel near the eyepiece?

I recently discovered the joys of naturally finished wood when making grips for my .45 out of Kingwood. That has a lot more oil in it than cherry and maple so I'm surprised you were able to get such a nice finish.

Tom,

That knob locks one mirror in place. There are 3. It is used to make the image show more or less facets. I can close to 18 facets (segments) or open to just 4 facets.

Top Quality job Bill , a good item to make from wood, I have never seen one in wood before but its a work of art as well as nice object. Your wife must have been well pleased.

We have decided that this will be the next Kaleidpscope. This one has weight driven optics.

The first print is never right. A lot of changes and this looks final. On to the barrel and optics.
