New Tool Handles

[lunchman]

@SmokinPerformer2's outstanding leather wrapped grill tools thread inspired me to get into my shop and fabricate a handle for my favorite pair of tongs which were looking very shabby. I don't work in leather but I do work in wood.

The before (silicone grip has fallen apart, tongs are in need of some love) -



The blank, cutout and ready for the router table and then the bandsaw to split the two pieces. Like the handles I fabricated for the Weber 18" kettle, these are also from scrap Meranti wood -



Pre-finish, just to check for size and fit -



Results -





And in the tool holder on the Weber 18" paired up with the matching custom handles -



Thanks for checking out this post. And a big thank you to SmokinPerformer2 for the inspiration!

Regards,

Looks beautiful.  Love the way it matches your handle set on the grill

Nice job!!!! Glad I could inspire you. I'm currently at work waiting for my day off to finish mine.   Love the lid wood handle..
