Here is a western handle I did for a friend. I took a Richmond and cut the tang to make a half hidden tang so I could make the belly larger, it was quite shallow to start with. Used desert ironwood. I had never made this kind of handle before it was fun. I sanded down the end of my wood too much after I had drilled the holes so it didn't marry up perfectly and I didn't orient the star but I still think it turned out well. And I'm learning.
