Rasp handle...

First post in a long time...


Purchased this Dean Torges style Nicholson bowyer's rasp from 3Rivers a time back; a tool I highly recommend!
It came with a real crappy set of handles that I just finished to change.

Very cool Frank! And durable, good thinking.

Very nice,I have made several out of Osage to replace the cheap ones but may try that on the next one.  Love it. Handy/durable and looks good to boot,hard to beat that.

Yeah! You handled that real well.

I love making file handles. I save every piece of scrap osage that has a handle length in it, much better than throwing it on the burn pile.

You can make two ferrules out of a 35 cent copper pipe coupler from Lowe's by cutting it in half.

There is something about turning wood on a lathe that is relaxing and therapeutic.

Dang, Eric! You can make the simplelist looking things look like art.

Yes Eric, really nice handle! Nicer than anything you could buy.

I like the antler handles Frank. Glad to see you posting!

Nice work Eric!
