Homemade Keybar

[AaronEasterling]

So after looking around at a few different brands of the keybar (or whatever you call them) I couldn't find one with a price to design ratio that I liked. With that said I made my own.

Thanks! It is Bois D Arc or osage orange depends on where you are what its called. It is actually a more yellow color. This piece was the bottom (buried end) of a 50+ year old fence post. By far it is one of my favorite woods that of which I use on a lot of my knife handles. (Picture of a knife handle I did with the same wood below)

Thanks! There are o-rings on both sides of each handle. I tightened it where it just smashed the o-rings to give it enough friction to hold everything in place. The order I have it in is handle, o-ring, washer, key, washer, key, washer, o-ring, handle. Picture to follow.
