About half a year ago I purchased a Gramercy dovetail saw kit, but it wasn't until three days before now that I decided to assemble and make the handle for it.
Sorry, the thread is sparse in pics.
The handle roughly cut
Some rough shaping
More fine shaping
The final result.
I didn't sand the sides to the bolts because I made it a bit thicker than suggested on the instructions and the bolts are not thought to accept that difference so I had to sink them in further.
The wood is mongoy, a scrap from the seven drawer dresser project that Larry will kill me if I don't post it soon.
The handle is quite comfortable to use but I think I will tweak it a bit or make another one.
