    I would work from middle to outsides, if the middle is just a bit off, making the outsides match can hide that some, and also gives you a reference point for your outer areas. Just be sure you mark really well where you want any material removed. I would go so far as to suggest finding a handle shape that's simple that you like and replicate it as best you can since this is a test piece anyway, oh and be sure to drill out your knot hole first otherwise centering that thing can make any unevenness on your outer edge that much more pronounced. If any of the wood turners here could chime in they could explain it better; I am not a turning guru, just fubar'd enough to know what not to do.
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.
