Thank you Ben, this is the Triplett set I’ve been working on, yes sir. The towel holds heat away from the hand and catches any excess wax. Just don’t wash it with your clothes, obviously!

Nicely done rachel! I take my whips to sauna with me when they have flaking.

Mailed the Triplets to their new home yesterday. May they fly safe!

Great job Rachel.

I like the feature of being able to remove the keys for ease of use. Great idea.

Wow, very nice. The plaiting is so nice, it's real nice to look at.
The diamond plait is just perfect and the knot. Very cool.

Beautiful work, beautiful wood.
(other than that, I'm speechless, which doesn't happen often)

Rachel, those are very beautiful handles.
The keychains caught my eye in particular. The craftmanship is superb and they look fantastic - WOW!
Also, they could serve as a very stylish and portable " EDC-Stick of Death".

Excellent job Rachel.
You sure have a handle on making those.
My favorite one is the darker one. Beautiful.

Racehl, these handles somehow truly show us the pleasure you have in working with wood! Great!

Ron, thank you, that Granadillo is also my favorite! It can be finicky, but it is a good heavy and beautiful wood.
Mr. Robert, thank you, it sure is fascinating to see the wonders in nature.

Rachel, have you ever used a scraper for additional help in fine tuning before sanding your handles?
You do such good work on these, maybe the scrapers wouldn't help that much.
