What to do with 2x2x24 Oak table legs?

[Thomas Canfield]

I received 14 previous table legs made for glue up, center joint only, 2x2x24" oak table legs and looking for suggestions on what to do with them. First thoughts are:
1. Tool handles (don't need that many)
2. Tapered candle sticks of various heights (4,6, 8,... or so)
3. Just hang on and use when need practice material

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Make wooden Irish Flutes (musical). I have been saving two roadkill legs for that purpose myself.

They would be perfect for making screwdrivers using the kits available from the usual sources (or by cutting the plastic handle off a 4-in-1 screwdriver from the auto parts store). They would also be good for making handles for pizza cutters, ice cream scoops, and other items of kitchenware. These make great gifts. (Rather than just giving a toaster as a wedding gift, my wife and I give the couple a toaster and a pizza cutter or ice cream scoop.) It's nice to have a supply of these on hand to make a generic gift more personal.

Mark - I don't think that would be an interest, but thanks.

David - I do have several different kits that need handles and will keep that in mind. I have done some screwdriver handles with the kits and found some did not have the straight and Phillips blades. I have also picked up some 6 in 1 screwdrivers at big box and other places for purpose of removing plastic and adding handles and may give this a try.

Here's a thought. Just my own opinion of course. How about using them as legs for some tables?

Inside out turnings as art pieces or lamp bases...

I don't care for oak, life is too short to turn wood that I don't like. But if you must, I would do as stated above make screwdrivers. I make mine a little different than anyone else, I buy 1/4 hex shank holders off of eBay for a few dollars and skip the kit. Then buy sets of hex inserts for them from places like Harbor Freight.

I drill the blank with a 1/4" bit, turn it to shape, sand and finish the wood. The shank fits real tight, but I also epoxy it in in place. If is a special gift I will also drill out the handle and make a cap for the inserts, or a presentation box. Other wise they get the handle and a handful of inserts of my choice. These are 10 minutes of work, my cost with a the inserts around $5 to $7 depending on what extras I throw in. Sorry no pics of a finished one with turned wood handle.

Good for beer tap handles as well.
