This one is coming along nicely. The handle is a piece of apple I found which had a nice 90 degree bend to it. This handle was intended to be the ogee curved joint handle from the last stick I did, but when I was drilling it out for the dowel, the drill drifted into a bit of unseen punky wood and went out through the side of the handle. I was going to chuck it but decided to keep it. I cut off the damaged part to see what I had left, which ended up being a handle with an angled joint.
The shank is a very dark piece of yellow birch.
I thought a light colored spacer would look good, so I used the ash off cut from the curved joint handle.
It needs a bit more shaping on the nose and some minor cracks in the handle need some sawdust and glue, but so far so good.
