looks a very nice job .your right to think the handle is a little thick in places .but a nice job all the same .great contrast in the wood should be a 1st class stick when finished :thumbsu:

I also maybe criticise my own work to much but like you we try to be objective in your approach to a job it achieves more in the long term .So easy to think something is good .but overall it looks pretty good to me

Its more likely that this is one to keep for yourself its something to be very satisfied with and will create a lot of interest from people whilst your using it.

post pics when you finish it .

we always find something we consider wrong other people may not notice it but I always ask myself could I have done something different /better the answer is always yes

But you shouldn't knock yourself with this little beauty I would have it gladly
