OK, that's a doozy. So much beautiful wood brought to silky smoothness. Just as nice as ivory or semi-precious stones.

I do wonder how the metal handle caps are fit. Are they pre-made, or made to fit each handle they are made?

The brass caps are made from brass bar and shaped with files. See this link. https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/108115439110510399802/albums/5734323250760749553

Photos illustrate the installation of wood end caps, but I do it the same as with brass.

Thanks for the link. I'll be spending time looking over your albums. You have developed excellent techniques. For the sake of woodworking, hope you have or will have some apprentices.

You can see some of mine, if you like.

Something 'different';

Very nice work, friend. I think your "pineapple cane" is my fav.
