I've finally taken the handle I wasn't happy with off the 52100 Mule.


I recently received a couple of bits that could work really nicely for the new handle.
A gorgeous pair of Yew scales with lovely burr.


and also a block of stabilised spalted Birch.


I previously softened the curve where the forefinger sits, shortening the guard, but I think I'm also going to make the thumb ramp a little more rounded as well.
It can be a bit pointy....

...and afterwards will look like this.
