Yep, I use thin leather instead of fiber. Before I mount the slabs I glue the leather with epoxy to the slabs and trim the excess. I soak the edges of the leather with cyanoacrylate before finishing the handle, so it can't expand from water and moist.
 
Very nice. I like the idea of the leather spacers. Have you ever had problems with expansion, despite using the cyanoacrylate?
