    Default More door handles

    Finished another batch of door handles yesterday for my architect client.
    As you can see from the pictures there are even split turned ones in the range. These ones are 150mm dia and are in Tasmanian oak. The darker one is Blackwood 200mm dia. Also a couple of Huon pine numbers.
    Oh yeah, the small w.i.p sculpture/carving in the last photo is sort of what you start to feel like when you do too many of these.

    Great work. Really like the handles.

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."

    Yes, they are glued together with newspaper sandwiched between the joint line.
    After they are turned a sharp knock with a chisel on the glue line and they pop apart.
