Here's the handle. Shaped piece of leather to build up grip a little. Chair cane wrap. Bring water to boil,then let the cane soak for 30 minutes. I use 2 pieces side by side,whipped on. Ends secured with super glue,then 4 coats of spar varnish on grip. God Bless

Guess you were ready for my next set of questions before I ask.

That handle looks fabulous!

Thanks for taking time to post those, Pete.

Osage must be the only wood you can break dang near in half and still make a functional, legal, lethal weapon from the pieces.  Nice work!!

Very nice wrapping indeed! It's a cool thing when the wrapping is also from wood IMO.

Tiller is perfect also.
