Starting on WA handles

[Uncle Danny]

So… I decided to expose myself to criticism or at least just show you guys/gals where a I have come to in my progress of making handles.

Bottom part are hollow and ready for the tang. I just need to buy the proper tools to do the top. And of course chamfer the edges.

All is done in free hand without a jig

But this is me for know

Walnut and oak handles with and without oil.

In the future can someone remind me not to say ‘yes’ when asked if I can make knife handles out of skateboards... it’s a right fookin faff I assure you!

Well, you chose the "birch bark stacking" way instead of "cut 2 rectangles, cut slot for tang, glue together" Easy Button™ method.

Feck! Sorry @Uncle Danny - I meant to post that in the general handle thread, not hijack your one.

Nice work btw. That's some pretty spiffy looking wood you've got there and you've done well with it!

No worries, it’s all for the better
Thanks
