Scrap to handle

GK59

 I had some scraps left over from a cutting board I made for a Christmas present. Also the weather has been crappy.

So I made this for my egg. The red is Padauk and the lower is Marblewood.  Those are brass screw inserts that had to be ground down.

@GK59, I like it...I'm going to have to try my hand at something like that.

I think I'll order another handle and make a second one a bit different.

Very nice.
I want to try a polished, knotty tree branch done rustic style. Do you know what would be the best type of wood to use for that?

Nice =D>

That's  a great looking handle. I would like to try something like that, but the only wood scraps I have around are 2x4's and plywood

Fearless anything will work. I'll have to find a nice stick.

Caliking I made picture frames out of plywood using the plys as the face for a rustic look. Woodcraft has some laminated stock in different colors. They aren't big pieces , but you could get 2 handles out out one. 

No right ,no wrongs with making one.

I picked up a piece of 3/4" x 1/8" strip of aluminum from Ace today and will bend another handle and make another with a different pattern or combination of wood. May be make a different one for different seasons or holidays. I could stain a green one for St Pat's Day, or a red and white one for my Polish heritage.

You know how the Germans defeated Poland in WW2? They marched in backwards and we thought they were leaving.

Hey, my last name is 10 letters long... I can tell that.

My mom is 100% Polski. So I can laugh at that.

But the real question is... how many vowels?

Whipped up a second handle  yesterday. Going to give this one to my local dealer Jim.

I bought a strip of aluminum from Ace. Just hand bent to shape.
