Jack Sparrow’s compass from Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

This is a work in progress that has never been finished. I really can’t remember when I made it, but it must have been some time before 2012. What remains is the brass work on the inside, but at the time of making I knew nothing of etching, milling, or brazing brass, and the project therefore came to a halt.  But I do now, so one day when I find time, I will finish it. Or maybe just make a new one.

I made this in some unknown wood that I stained dark, and inlaid it with strips of birch veneer.
