>I had to move it from different conditions from very dry to very humid. I had mad a prototype with a much longer gut but it twisted way too much. Even the finished one had to be shortened to calibrate it correctly.

Here is a moon phase indicator I am building based on globes and planet models of the nineteenth century.

The moon is paper mache reinforced with cheescloth and the cover which will be painted black is coopered pine veneer bent and held in kerfs on each pole. Paper is glued on the back to reinforce.

One of the most unusual things I have ever made.
