In his photos he is using artificial sinew, probably the 70# stuff.  I use that and Dacron B50 bow string material, depending on what is closest to hand.

Shame to cover that pretty wood handle.    ;)

Extend the "top" & "bottom" a bit and then fold that bit over and glue it to itself . . . gives ya nice finished edge at top and bottom of your leather-wrapped handle.

I’ve sewn my handles (similar outlook as in the beginning of this chain) wet. I cut the leather few mm short and when sewn moist the leather stretches and the edges meet nicely. After drying overnight the fit is really tight round the handle. No glues needed. In most cases I’ve added a layer or two TruOil or bees wax against moisture.
