Well...hhb staves were a no go...way to curved and knotty. So, now i am going to do something different...picked up a piece of red oak with some awesome grain lines. its 3/4" and the grain is parallel linearly. im going to build up the handle with a piece of itself and I dont want to back it...suggestions on dimensions?
