I looked @ your home page and can see you were inspired by someone.
Someone from the east, I suppose? Who, I have not a guess.
They are very nice. It is rare these days to see someone dedicated to an individual style.
As too using a router for doing round over on handles; I have some experience at this and will give you my pros and cons.
Use a quality carbide tipped cutter with a bearing on the tip to push against.
Since you are working with a small hand held piece, you need a very close clearence where the cutter comes through the table. You can fix it with a sheet of Plexiglas if the hole is to large.
The handle piece does not have to be flat, on its sides for this to work.
I always shaped the handle in all dimensions before using the router to turn the edges.
If you have a good grip on the piece and work in fairly small increments, this is an easy way to get the basic roundover on handles.
It works well with micarta[ mask required ] I have not tried any other materials.
My set up was a two hp router, clamped in a vise with a plexigla sheet mounted to it.
Who was your inspiration? An individual or was it the style itself.
Hope this is helpful:thumbup: Fred
