A lot of you have seen my work in wood and resin. I've tried to make a few unique styles and have made some custom requested pieces for clients, that emulate acceptable looks that are out there.  Thought I'd just ask what you want to see. I just de-molded a nice colored blank for another handle. It is a mixture of Duo Blue/Green, Macro Pearl White and a little of clear resin with some silver glitter.  Need style suggestions along with knot sizes and heights. It's wide open.....Might even name it after you....... Smile
What would you like to see this turn into?

A shave brush would be cool. Maybe a pen.

I suspect it would be quite difficult, but I would love to see a handle in faux ivory with some faux scrimshaw on it.

I've heard the Paladin Sumo handles are extremely comfortable to hold and have wanted one but never seen one available in a color I liked. I've also never had but like their Samurai and Buck Rogers shapes.

The Queef.....
Yep, that's what I make. What I was asking for was a style that someone would like to see.

Hi John. I'll be looking into that. Have a few ideas I'm toying with. That adds to the list. Thanks for the thoughts.

Hey Tim, I’ve got the Dragonsbeard set that you made and would love to have a matching razor stand. Could you make one with a drain hole and feet on the bottom? I can email you pictures of how I’m envisioning the feet. I also need to measured what size I’d like the hole to be to accept certain handles.

Send me what you have in mind. If it can be done on a lathe, I should be able to do it. Always trying to do new things.
Thanks for the opportunity.

Just got my "Kentuckian" handle in and it's prettier in person than the pictures. The handle shape feels GREAT in my hand too. The knot in it was just one on hand to see how it looked but I'll be getting an appropriate knot for this baby. Thanks for this beautiful piece to add to the den Tim !!

My preference for a handle is to not have circular grooves or beads on it.
I like them simple - stubby and with a narrow waist, like some of the Stirlings...

The squarish Semogue 620 fits the bill too.
