wow....those are nice handles. To me, handles are always the biggest challenge (not like I've really done that many). I'd love to see a WIP of how you do these. Very nicely done. Not blocky at all...very fluid.
If you make them super snug it will get stuck frequently, I used metric, the pin was 8mm (about 5/16") and the hole was the next drill, in my case 8.25mm since the difference is in the diameter, total deviation should be around 0.1mm (0.004"), Im pretty sure you cannot see the difference if it happen to be there...
Yes, you thread the bottom hole and leave the top hole so the screw can pass freely

Just sent this one out. 1084 with box elder burl and natural micarta

Very clean. Love it! What do you use as your liner between the burl and micarta? Is that just black micarta?
