Last weekend I bought 3 old socket chisels at an antique show. They didn't have handles and I don't know anything about woodworking chisels or how to use them, but I thought they were kind of neat. So today I turned some handles for them from Osage Orange. The top one is a James Swan brand, the other two are Stanley. The handle size was just a progression of experimenting with what felt good to hold. The small one was a little to small, the big one was a little to big, you know the rest of the story.

Nice looking handles.

To Tell you the truth Curt...I think they all look just right. You've managed to capture the old-style look that matches the age of the chisels. Very nice.

Great job on the handles. For your info, the Stanley's are fine chisels, and the Swan is top shelf. They all look in very good shape too. Good score.
