Reproduce Quartz handle for top of Cartier clock

This is a clock that was made by Cartier in the 1920s. It has a clear Quartz handle on top. The Quartz handle was broken and needed to be duplicated.

As you can see it is in the shape of a "D" which is also cylindrical in cross section. Making the outer shape isn't very difficult but the inner area of a piece like this can be quite time consuming to shape, sand, and then polish. After the "D" had been finished, a 1/2" wide slot was cut out of the bottom where it attaches to the body of the clock.
