Excellent work. 
YOU BET BRIAN GOOD FRIEND. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE YOU AND YOURS DON
The quality is so good, that it is hard to see, if this is a 3D-rendering or real timber - Great
I think it is the same timber the stem pieces were made, Chinese boxwood (Jubie), The edges are so crips and even.

Many thanks for your descriptive and informational answer, Dahai. Century leave, Century learn!
Jim, the timber is called Golden Tang wood.
