Ear plugs: Phase 1

It started with a concave osage-orange ring that looked a lot like a large double-flared ear tunnel.

A pile of scraps on the coffee table and a desire for new jewelry lead to an attempt at ear plugs. Most wooden ear plugs are 0g and larger. My lobes are 4g. What to do...

Look what I made

More practice is needed before they hit the store, but they fit and are comfortable. One immediate production problem: they have a tendency to fly out of my hand during shaping, never to be found again.
