To achieve additional accuracy the saw handle slot was 1st kerfed to a 1/2" depth using a router table mounted slitting blade, then sawn to full depth with a large tenon saw.

What's the wood, Stewie, is it Myrtle? Looks like nice, fine-grained stuff, whatever it is....

Shaping work on the new saw handle has been completed. The surfaces have been sanded down to 400grt, and a seal coat of a Danish Oil applied. 2 more coats of Danish Oil are needed to complete this project.
New saw handle.
Old saw handle.

Nice; & I like the subtle detailing along the top.
I reckon Myrtle is a good substitute for Applewood & I think you've demonstrated that very nicely with this handle, Stewie!
Cheers,IW
