Great recycle of the wood. Making a very nice handle for a very useful tool.

I keep coming back to look at your handle. It must have taken some time to carve. (Draw Knife?) Using that type of lathe must be neat too. Great project, you took the time to do what most (unfortunetly) would just through away.

Thanks! I just used a coping saw to get the curved profile, then just rounded over the corner edges with a rasp. Very simple and pretty quick to do actually. I went to buy a handle from the hardware store and they didn't have one, so I just made one instead.
