    Default Some Handles

    I finished these handles last week. Mr TomNewby ordered them for some titan chisels.

    The timber is bloodwood, wonderful stuff to turn

    Cheers,
    Funky C

    the ovalness may be an optical illusion caused by there being two smaller and two larger sized handles sitting side by side.

    i think they look brilliant!!

    Thanks FC.

    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    Can you imagine a full set of 20 or 30 chisels, displayed on a wall board, all made with those handles...????? priceless...!

    Well done F.C.

    I plan to progressively order more as my Titan collection builds... a full set of bevel and firmer all re-handled would be nice... especially if these first four handles are anything to go by!
