I was piddling in the garage earlier today with my new batch of razors and ran across some scrap handle material. In between working on the razors, I came up with these. They are metal lined.
The white is linen micarta. The bands are fiber spacing material for knives... and the red is dyed and stabilized curly maple. The kind where you rotate it and watch the bands move all around.
They might work...
