    These are handmade by me, I started out turning on my Pop's lathe and found it rather enjoyable. My wife recently agreed to let me get my own lathe here and I couldn't be happier :). I needed some form of creative release that I could do with my injured back and these are just an extension of my creativity. Some blanks are stubborn and will not do anything they don't want to do and that is a big reason for the wide variety of styles.

    I've been sitting here trying to figure out which one to pick, but I think the bronze chalice looking handle would look sweet with a 3 band super knot, or the black handle with a 2 band super fan shaped knot....

    Awesome looking handles! :happy096:

    As to the how much questions; TSD has vendor rules, and any non-approved vendor caught selling through PMs will be banned. It has happened before.

    great job, Brunner! I have to agree that the red one is excellent. The bronzy one just behind it to the left, the one Aaron described as chalice like, is a close second, though.

    I just wanted to show these off to you guys to see what you think, this forum I have a lot of respect for because I believe that there is the most knowledgeable people in it. I am not a vendor. Please don't P.M. me to purchase, I do not want to be banned.
    I love to restore vintage handles and have just started making them to suit my particular taste. I thought you guys might want to see a different take on handles and that is why I put these here.

    They are absolutely gorgeous, and some of the most unique I've seen.

    ;) Plenty of free store options out there, ya know? You can take in custom orders, and work at your own pace.

    These look completely amazing! What an excellent idea for a creative pastime. I'm sure if you did find a way to sell these you would have a great deal of interest.
