I was thinking to get the saw handle blanks from a small local saw mill and support you guys. The blanks need to be 1" Thick by 145mm x 120mm with the grain running in the direction of the longest edge.

Of course it can be in the form of a board to be cut down by us or small blocks. It just needs to be a suitable timber and look pretty
