I purchased two of these because of the good quality from using the first one. The gavel is nice looking, sturdy, and appears to last a long time, hopefully. The price is affordable. I will use it a lot in the organization with which I am affiliated

Overall nice quality and durable

I give these, along with a shepherd's crook, when I do a New Shepherds Orientation Workshop. An elder is an overseer (gavel) and a shepherd (shepherd's crook). I was no longer able to get the gavel from Amazon at a reasonable price. I found this on Essy. They are made well, have an excellent finish, and arrived before the promised time. Therefore, 5 Stars!
