I am ordering new wood handles for my Ivory and was just wondering if anyone had replaced them and had had pics?

I got a full set (rollers, vent tab, handle) in last week but haven’t put everything on yet. Here is the lid with a maple WKC handle.

Make sure you specify that you need handles for the taco-style handle straps.

Has anyone changed handles on a new Ivory?

@ba843
Yes, I have.... Had to modify it some to fit the lid strap.
I hope to use this as a template and fabricate a similar style wooden one someday.

For sure, that looks great.
My concern is the top part “helicoptering” with a standard wood handle.
