Maple....I may be switching all handles to maple instead of oak.  It is just easier to cut and easier to finish.  Unless someone requests oak.  Oak is very durable but maple is very hard as well.  Maple may be the new way I go....

How about Merbau? I got a steal on this for my deck. I wish I had some left to make handles from. This is some hard sh!t! Last the life of our Webers.

Merbau
Indonesian hardwood
They sell heaps here in oz
4 x 1 decking about $1.25/ foot
I find it leaches its talons to much

Mine leached at first, this why I got such a deal. They were putting this on million dollar homes, had to many claims for ruining cement patios.
Cheap in OZ. 1 x 6 is about $7.00/ft. retail here.
