Gman, it looks pretty good so far! Don't make it look to good because then I'll need you to make me a few! :)

Nice!  I have heard wood is a pretty good pattern certain times of the year 

Did you carve it yourself?

Big M did the rough body cut for me but yes I whittled it down and sanded it.  I've got about 10 more I cut out and am slowly working on right now.

I just saw this on another forum and must say you've inspired me to give it a shot.  I have always wanted to give making cranks a try and your awesome looking job has helped me jump off the fence and give it a go on the fly.

I finished the carving and will post them.
