My wife wanted a new handle for her Foley Fork (predecessor to Whisk) that she has used since the 60s. I told her I would need a new tool to be able to make a handle. She said get whatever you need. So I did! GRIN
The wood is rosewood from a pen blank and finished with Watco and buffed with tripoli. The old handle, shown, had come loose along with the ferrule. The fork and ferrule are force fit with a little epoxy......Ron

Nice work Ron! Did you have to get a new lathe to turn the handle???

I got another Oneway Talon Chuck. The old one just wasn't up to holding a pen blank! GRIN ......Ron

great job! Now you turn the old handle into a pen for her as in honor of the old handle.

ROFLOL... you got a new Talon chuck to do that? I bow to your greatness Oh Master of the Spin... please teach the rest of us how it's done.:D
Great job by the way, looks great.. and I like the other idea about turning the old handle into a pen, that would be the icing on the cake...

The pen idea sounds great. Can't tell what kind of wood it is until I start turning it. Let's see...to make a pen I would probably need some new tools, right? ......Ron
