Here's a pair of wa handles I just finished.
Spalted maple burl, professionally stabilized by K&G. These are true mono handles so you don't need to worry about steps at any transition joints. I sized them for my typical 240mm blades, but they could work for smaller as well. Tapered from back to front, chamfered at the tip, and rounded butt at the rear. The natural voids in the burl have been filled with epoxy and sawdust from the same piece, and sanded smooth. Finished with hardwax oil for protection while avoiding the plasticky feeling that I dislike from some other types of finishes. Tang holes are narrow to allow for it to be sized to your specific blade for a tight final fit up. See videos for more details of each handle.
Dimensions:
Length: 130mm
Front: 19.5 x 24mm
Rear: 23 x 27mm
Tang Hole: approx 3.5 x 14 x 105mm (just lemme know if you want this adjusted)
$125 ea + shipping ($5 within US, Int'l starts around $12)
Handle #1: 62g
Handle #2: 65g
