First off Thanks to John Keeton for the blanks for the handles Im in the very slow prosses of making this Is # 1 Thompsons 1/4 in detal gouge im happy with the handle its a tad flater in the front than I really was wanting but it feels good in my hand so thats all that really maters I guess the next one on the list is My thompson 3/8 in spindle gouge. Then a 1/2 in v bowl gouge.

Rob, congrats on getting the first one behind you!! I am betting the others go much smoother, and they will be more what you are after. Each one gets easier.

And, you are welcome on the wood - just a very small token for that great mahogany chunk you sent me!!!

Rob, that's a neat looking handle for sure. i have made a few tool handles, but it never ocurred to me to laminate my many scarp pieces. Nice work.
