No problem.

 

How you planning on fixing the handle?

 

Only reason I ask is I have a midnight blank here I haven't had the time to put a handle on.

All suggestions welcome.

Wurz u got a few pics? Yeah well spotted moxy lol

Sorry rob, only just read this mate. Haven't got any pics that I can put up cos its a nightmare getting anything on here from my phone. If its any help,i used hardwood stair rods for my handles, but I was doing stuff with a half tang and epoxy resin so it was quite easy to do.

One of my little hobby is spinning up wood pens, I have quite a few different woods and acrylic blanks, most blanks are only 19mm x 19mm x 120mm if you could get your tang down to 19mm the off cuts could make an interesting handle all glued together.

 

If you fancy a couple of full blanks let me know I get mine mostly for free off a cabinet maker, I have the likes of American Oak, Ash, Maple, Walnut, Iroko and quite a few others.

 

I can also spin up pens with a camo acrylic design if anyone is interested.
