Has anyone made any wooden handles for any reason? I need to make about 100 and am really disappointed with any on the market. They don't have to be elaborate but have to be 3" centers. They make some that are like a half circle but I want something a little different but a similiar version is what I am looking for. Thanks!.

I have made some but your description escapes me. Do you have an example picture?

I've got patterns somewhere for a wooden knife handle and a wooden planer handle. Is that what you are looking for?

All pulls would be appreciated! Randall those acorn pulls are real nice. I would have to make about 95 for the job I have. Do I have enough time in my life to do that?? Hope so, do you have the file for them? If so I could be interested!! I would definately appreciate it!! Thanks

darrl, do you have aspire? it is a two rail sweep with a 3d onlay from the aspire models, after one could hog out the round needed in the finger pull with a table belt sander, viktor is quite a fellow at this, i had the pleasure of meeting him at my shop recently

Maybe I could throw a few ideas around. I will try the three rail sweep, so obviously I have Aspire. I get off work and am tired so ideas are hard to come by. I'll try.

I know how to use the three rail sweep, I just hadn't thought of it. I may pick your brain for some ideas if I can. Is that all right? James, thanks for the offer!

came across this the other night... might be worth thinking about.... you would have to size it to work for you..

Mitch, that is some handle!! How can one get a copy of it to make a tool path?? Is it possible to take that picture and make a tool path?? Thanks for the idea.
