>I got a small modeller's rasp from you this week.It's a beautiful tool.Very aggressive cutting action.I think I'm going to test it out on a new bowsaw that I need to make.

The handle of the rasp is the subject of my question.I love the feel of it.It's texture allows for a solid grip.What kind of wood is it? Are all their rasp handles made this way?I checked your catalog and website and couldn't find any details on it.---thanks---Jack

>Jack,

Glad you like the rasp. The handles are Wenge. A good handle is worth the expense. All the Auriou rasps we stock come with them (in various sizes).
