    I concur with the comments regarding Danny's work.  I love the handle he did for me.

    I have 2 and absolutely enjoy them both.  I had heard a few years ago that he wasn't making them anymore due to a license issue or something.  But, if he will make them now...I would definitely consider Danny.

    He was doing handles with college logos and the NCAA took exception. So no more college logos. Not sure what he's doing now. Or whether he's still doing them. He did them very well though!



    Don't know if Sparky from the other forum still doing these either. All sorts of patterns. Here's one. I know @Florida Grillin Girl has one too.


    For a more formal look, amlwoodart.com does these...


    Personally, I like Lawn Ranger's best. He does them with whatever name you want, but I wanted a plain, rustic handle. I asked him for a knot or two and this was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Not sure if he's still doing them. @RRP has some with names.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Still at it, I assume. Danny just made one for me in March of this year. Contact him at danlin [at] nb [dot] sympatico [dot] ca (email modified to prevent spam).

    The names I asked for aren't too creative, but I had Mike put these on mine. He used a Dremel.
    L - RRP Papa
    M- RRP Momma
    S-  RRP Junior
    Mi- RRP Baby

    He even helped me to replace my old style bale handle on my Mini when I had the rigid strap for it.

    Lawn Ranger made me my original handles way back in 2005 & 2006. Recently I contacted him through the forum to see if he still did handles. Mike was gracious enough to make me new handles that would fit the new style bands I bought for my 2 large eggs. All of Mikes work is 1st class!

    I am fortunate enough to have a few items from the Lawn Ranger.  Purchased my first BGE handle probably 14 or so years ago and I am currently refinishing it.  He does some very nice work.
    The problem with a problem is that you don't know it's a problem until it's a problem, and that is a big problem.
