I notice to some extent that handle design has focused on shaped as to prevent rolling of the handles, as to ergonomics well we are all somewhat different so a common diameter will be a challenge. Vibration is an issue perhaps more so for us here in Oz especially with burls and my foam covered handles are a result of my experience with them. I find them very effective and now they form the majority of my handles.

Been digesting the advice here and now I want to make some new handles for my turning tools. How much extra do you guys usually add for your blanks ideally? I want a 32mm thickness handle and have some really nicely aged 40mm thick jarrah I could turn into blanks. Would that be enough?

Should be plenty thick enough
PS you might want to turn a couple out of pine or something as practice and to be sure you like the shape and that they feel comfortable (NB don't use these as handles though as they won't be strong enough)Last edited by Sawdust Maker; 16th June 2017 at 04:38 PM. Reason: Add PS
