I like all of that stuff. You do good work. You might want to try a solid color for a background for the pictures though. I think it would be easier to see them.

Johnboy,
With your turning skills, you should be able to whip out a striker in a few minutes.  Chuck up a little of that messquite and give it a try.

My pegs are about a quarter inch, and the top is about three quarters to an inch.  But if you go with a solid top, you might want to make it about five eighths.  Mine are about nine inches total length.
