My skills and equipment don't (as of yet) extend to turning. When my current project (http://www.woodworkforums.com/f213/dans-blackbutt-roubo-bench-100391-new/) reached a stage where it requires turning, I'm going to have to outsource.
I'm looking for someone to make me two handles to hold the steel rod used as the sliding vice parallel guide stop. (See pic if confused). Two handles for two vices.

The steel rod is 10.5mm in diameter and roughly 250mm long.

I did a quick sketch. My thought was since all the force is on insertion and withdrawl to have it fatter at each end. (Spaced 11cm to allow for my 10cm palm.) The remainder of the bench has some distinctive curves and round overs. This would need to be considered.

The design and size of the handle is not fixed.
In fact, any chisel handle design would also work.

I looked at different options for ferrules and thought the carbatec ones were as easy as any other. Brass is nice. Though the project has elements of chrome, steel, aluminin, and galvanised steel.

Carbatec Ferrules (http://www.carbatec.com.au/brass-ferrules_c17220)
Inside diameter: 22mm, outside diameter: 25mm, length: 17mm.
So what timber. The bench is made of blackbutt and the vices have rosewood (american) timber. I can supply blackbutt, redgum, or nice tassy blackwood upto ~45-50mm. If blackwood or redgum is choice I might like the vice handles replaced later. Fiddleback or straight.
How would it work?
I'm happy to hear any and all suggestions.
I'm happy to post you the required timber (with return post of course.)
I'm happier to keep the steel and ferrules for assembly here.
I'm happy for you to finish the wood or leave it bare sanded. (The rest of the project is finished with organoil danish.)
I'm happy to chip in a small voucher at carbatec or bunnings for your efforts.
