>Thanks Bill! The shape of the handles sort of evolved as I was turning them. I started with the thinnest chisels and moved to the wider ones. I can see the difference as I got more comfortable with turning just the shape I wanted.

At one point I was going to burn lines into each on that corresponded to the number of "1/8s". You know, and 1/8" chisel would have one line, a 1/4" would have two, and a 3/8" would have three. But that went by the way side as soon as I completed the first one! :>)
