I have obtained a good condition round socket chesiel minus handel and would like to find a source of replacement handels. However, it seems no one makes them any more - can anyone help?
I do have one wood gouge that has a great handel with a leather "bumper" on the end. I tried that and the leather just mushed out. How was this leather treated to hold up so well? One person suggested soaking it in borax, then leting it dry while compressed. Any comments?
Thanks in advance
