I am going to make a handle for a knife. This post explains the what and why. 
I was an active woodworker and fairly good, but lost the use of a shop 20 + years ago. So I want to use the wood in the link, but plan on doing a test knife first so I don't screw up the beautiful crotch.
I am not making a blade, nor do I intend to buy all the equipment to forge blades, (although the 2 x 72 belt sanders do look very sexy. :lol2: ). Rather than pepper this site with endless questions, I'd like a book that is focused on handles, or at least has a good section on them. Amazon has a number of books that have good ratings, so I just need an opinion or two on a good one.
Another thought is would I be better off for this project at a forum about making knives, and which one?
Thanx,
Ron
