Inlaid Wooden Handle on the Lathe
Inlaid fly rod handle being shaped on the lathe.
Wood types used include ebony, amboyna and birds-eye maple.
Made entirely with hand tools, except for the lathe shown here.
Finally got round to turning this handle down before departing on another fishing trip.
Made the mistake of making the handle a little too busy. Also the trim inlays are too thick -- they should have been about 1/16 inch thick. Oh well, next time.....
