Homemade tools

>These are some homemade tools/tool handles that I've piddled with in the last few weeks. The mallet and router collect wrench are made out of padauk and maple. The X-acto knife handle is padauk. The screwdriver handle is padauk and yellowheart (at least, I think that's what it is). Most of the wood came from a sample pack I bought at Woodcraft a while back; the screwdriver bit holder is just an off-the-shelf Bosch bit holder I got at Lowe's for 3 bucks. I must admit that I was very pleased with the way they turned out, since these were the first things like this I've ever tried to make. I particularly like the screwdriver handle - it's way more comfortable to use than the typical store bought variety, and it was way cheaper than the $40+ LN version that I've envied for a while.
