Got hold of some Hickory, one inexpensive cupped board. Cut some handle blanks, made a V jig to round them with a plane.

Then some lumps of white oak, I drilled the 1 1/8" hole with a forstner bit then cut off the corners, over and over.
Some sanding and then had my large knobs for my large hands.

Took off the temporary handles, added some home made rubber washers to reduce the 'klunk' when the handle drops.
I kept the tail vise handle a little longer as it has more resistance. Tung oil and done...…..No Lathe.

The knobs have a wonderful tactile feel!
