bry1975:
Any of you chaps ever made tools from Lignum Vitae or Rosewood?


TIA

Bry
rleete:
Tools?  No.  But, plenty of pens out of both.  Rosewood was what I used to make my very first pen.

Either one would do well for chisel handles or somthing else in that vein. 
bry1975:
Thanks chap,

What about Argentine lignum or Vera wood?
PekkaNF:
Mallet. Another "on works" when I'll figure what would be of corect shape and way of joining one square block to another type of wood handle.

Spurry:
I made one with a tapered mortice and tenon. The handle fitting through the headblock from the outside or top face.
