Sweet video, tiddle. Unfortunately, my friend won't be able to cut off that hunk of marble until next Monday so I'm playing around with a chunk of cedar...trying to do this "low-fi", though. Only using wood chisels, knives, and sandpaper...and probably a router to create a hole for a knot.

I'm not really banking on this (the cedar) handle to come out especially well; I see it more of a learning experience and an attempt to flesh out the shape I'll try to re-create with the marble.
