Created by artisan David Manos- pictured below – who makes gorgeous hardwood buttons and shawl pins, too….you can see his wife Madelyn, peeking! 
The Wood Rasp Shop at the Indie Knit & Spin Marketplace at the Ace Hotel today.

A lot of polishing must have gone into making that so smooth and shiny
I bet that feels amazing.
It’s so smooth.
