I was starting work on this handle and decided I'd give some of the fancy contours a try:

This is going to be a right handled favored handle:

Oiling it:

It's really tricky to get all the lines nice and even and crisp and yet make it comfortable at the same time, but I'm really happy with it sofar.

Just thought I'd share:D

That looks great! I like a slender handle profile!

Anxious to see the completed project!

I know it's a really god job but Is that handle done for a customer hand? I have a small hand and I never feel confortable with that kind of handle design. Just a question not a critic.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks Guys!

This one isn't for a specific customer(will probably just be put for sale in a week or so), this is a fairly large handle though it fits my hand really well. If I knew what hand I was making it for I would slim it down some but this handle shaping can still be very comfortable for a smaller hand.
