Lathe output

I made a pair of chisel handles this weekend on my lathe. The first one I’m reasonably happy with, the second one turned out okay but I made it a little bit, uh, big. The copper ring is not entirely decoration—in theory it will prevent the handle from splitting if you whale on the end of it, which considering it’s attached to a mortising chisel is a good idea—and the second round area is actually a thumb rest. It turned out pretty nicely, I think.
