What size blanks do you need to make a handle? I have a ton of exotic wood (super curly stuff and some of that 50,000 year old Kauri) and even some acrylic that polishes to a high gloss. Would love to get some cut up and made into handles.

They need to be about 6 1/4 inches long and 1 1/8 square....  If you send me a piece that's 1" thick and 6 1/4" long I can do the rest.....

So is that 1" square or 1.25" square you need?

Well really it needs to be 1" tall and 1.125" wide by 6.25" long.  So if it is a chunk that's at leas 6.25" long and 1" think it's all good, I would cut it into the strips I would need.  It's prob easier to send a chunk instead of a bunch of strips....

Brian, can you make a wooden slip on handle for the top vent tab? Like the nylon tab that comes on the new performers and 26"ERS?

I agree Golly, but what I really want to know is if Brian can make the wooden slip on handle for the top vent tab? Like the nylon tab that comes on the new performers and 26"ERS?

BTW Brian, I will hopefully have another order coming.  I have my eyes on a SS Performer which I hope to secure today.
