Give up the idea of making money on this. :razz:
Wait...sorry about your near death experiance...they make belts for polishing? All this time I have been trying by hand...I really need to get to the hardware store more often!Worked on some handles that I had started before. Then I knew it was time to go home when I got attacked and almost killed by a black palm handle. I had it on the polishing belt, the belt broke, ripped the piece out of my hand and torpedoed it at about the speed of light right under my nose into the wall. Poor handle didn't have a chance, broke right in the middle... See, woodworkers live dangerously vg: Makes me feel smart that I am wearing a respirator and eye protection. :thumbsup:
I'll go back to the fighting zone tomorrow, wish me luck!

Did you win those? :eek2:
Another great adhesive, if you want to get to work quick, is Loctite 330 Depend. it is a 2 part kit, the adhesive, and activator. You don't even need to wipe grease of the surfaces and this stuff sticks! I swear, it will stick crap to a flannel blanket!

Sean, you are so predictable I thought about you the other day when I was looking at a beautiful piece of spalted maple burl.

Dang! So many beautiful handles, but that bright red/pink one in the 2nd photo is the attention grabber.
Beautiful!! I like the one on the far right, top row, with the green ferule, and I think maple spacer. What is the handle material?
that red/pink bakelite one is mine! woohoo! actually, it probably has a bit more of a darker red background to it in normal light - more like a ruby. the streaks are white - but it does transition through pink to get to white - can't wait to see it when it gets here. also, those spacers have a little bit of a blue-ish tint to them.
