I’ve found a straightforward option to form my instrument handles to suit my hand. I’ve used this method on hammers, mallets, and substitute noticed handles, in addition to customized drawer pulls, instrument totes, and a customized recurve bow.
To create a kind, I merely soak and squeeze commonplace paper towels, including and eradicating towels till the shape seems good and feels excellent. From there, I hint the shape onto my deal with clean and minimize it to form on the bandsaw. I do the ultimate shaping and finessing with rasps and a sanding drum, checking the texture as I am going.
