Fancy Handles
Now i've built a rose engine I thought I had better make something useful rather than just cut endless pattern pieces.
I do like decent handles on tools so here are my first efforts.

I came to this forum for information, which I've got and plenty of it, what suprises me though is the amount of inspiration that I find.
We don't know how lucky we are......

Mike they look very nice indeed good to see the output from all your hard work.
The design should allow that extra grip and feel good in the hand.

Lovely work. But I suspect I'd need to use something of better quality than redgum salvaged from the firewood pile for my tool handles...

The timbers are L to R, 1 - Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus L.), 2 & 3 - Yew (Taxus baccata L.). Small branch stuff from my hedge & the local churchyard (being Churchwarden's odd-job man I get first pickings after storm damage).
That redgum looks nice, you do have some great timbers over there in Oz, I guess it is some compensation for having all those poisonous critters lurking in your timber stacks, the worst I have to worry about is the occasional hedgehog.
