    Barley Twist handle

    Hi Bob, yes a small rat-tailed file. I started off using the front of the file to file all the lines in. Then followed through with the rest of the file to make bigger. I think the wood is raw seasoned . Cheers Andy

    As asked for, All i used was a pencil, file, wire brush. I started by putting the lines on the handle with the pencil and then slowly filing in the lines. Cheers Topknot
