Hey guys,

A nice tool deserve a nice handle don't you think?

Basically I had snakewood pens crack on my customers. So I figured the nice snakewood should become handle! ;)

It is just sanded with some renaissance wax. Sooooo dense and fun to turn! I can't wait to try the tool!

Thanks for looking and clicky the thumbnails:

I think I'm going to try snakewood again. I'm going to throw it in my stabilization chamber and after drilling the hole I'm going to soak it good with thin CA. I'm determined to make a snakewood pen that doesn't crack!

Charles, that tool will be as much fun to use as it is to look at. Great job on a fine tool and handle. that will give you many years of pleasurable turning. Use it in good health. By the way, why not send Ken a copy of the photos, he loves to see what we do to handle his tools. Just a thought.

I just ordered my first inset tool so I'll be making some handles soon here myself. Don't think I have any snakewood though ;)
 
Very nice indeed!

Can you purchase the Woodchuck Pro in a kit form to make your own handle or do you need to buy the actual tool and then modify. Just curious on the price difference.

NEVER MIND.... IF I WAS TO OPEN MY EYES I WOULD BE ABLE TO FIND THIS INFORMATION MYSELF. THANK YOU!!!

Charles, Thank you for making a humble little turning tool into a pen turners wet dream, That is utterly gorgeous, Thanks for showing my tool in the very best possible view. That handle is definitively in the extremely beautiful class.
 
My simple contribution. :)

I have no regret turning this flawless snakewood piece that dried 8 years! If you want me to take more picture so you can use it on your site feel free to ask!

I enjoy nice tools.

Charles, I understand, my PenPro is in a piece of Camphor Burl that Wolftat sent to me. I'm looking for something special to put on my new bowl tool we made, I've about decided on a nice piece of Cocobolo or Zircote.
 
COCO! Personally I had issues finishing ziricotte. :)
