Very nicely done!
 
I think that's the first engine I've seen completed off my metric version of Gerry Dykstra's original.

Well done - I love the rustic base.

Nice job, what is the base material

Thanks for all the nice comments. The base is made out of some kind maple. A friend of mine made a gun stock out of it and gave me a leftover piece. The grain is unlike anything I've ever seen.

Exceptionally nwell done, Ken. And a nicely smooth runner. Congrats! I also liked that lathe that was partially visible in the background. :) What kind is it? Can you post pictures of it? Ralph
 
The base is curly maple.
And a very nice example of it!!!
