DSC02444.JPGRasp Handle145 viewsI tried Jim Thompson's ferrule-from-compression-nut approach using a flare nut. The approach worked just fine, and the result was this handle for a Nicholson #50. Wood is maple burl.Chuck Myers

DSC02446.JPGRasp Handle Ferrule151 viewsJim's technique of making the tenon a bit over-long and trimming to exactly the end of the ferrule works nicely. The primary difference between a compression nut and a flare nut is the length of the small tenon--quite a bit longer for the latter.Chuck Myers
