The fact that you lined up the burl after the spacer is a very nice touch!

If you don't mind answering, how long does a handle like this take you to make? I am guessing a couple of hours once you get good at it but am curious.

Really nice Karl. Great look in all your work. Contrasts are well thought out and eye catching. Wood selections are right on. Thanks for sharing.

Bill13, I don't mind sharing. It takes roughly 4 to 6 hours from start to finish.
I do a lot of hand sanding, 100grit to 8000 all by hand. It might be more time effective to do some of the lower grit sanding on a belt sander but I find its easier to make the handles completely flat by hand sanding.

Thanks everyone else who commented, your kind words and encouragement make it all worth while.
