I am wondering if I could make a ferrule of 2 interlocking pieces.
Or put the cleaver in a clay mold and cast one from epoxy resin. Something to contrast the light oak color of the handle...
I could simply glue 2 pieces of ebony together, but I am slightly worried that they'd fall off after repeated impact.
