Hi - I am looking for someone who can turn the handles (I am not setup for turning) for a Kama (Japanese Hand sickle) out of Red Ironbark - wood will be supplied. The handles measure 450 mm long and are straight along the length and flair only at the bottom to be no more 50 mm in diameter. Original kama model can be supplied for reference.
I am looking for between 6 to 10 handles depending on cost.
See this photo for example of a wooden Kama. The only difference will be that the bottom is flared for better handling (i.e. does not slide out of your hand).

If anyone is interested and lives in Melbourne can you message me with details and possible costs.
It would be much appreciated.
