Heavy and feels great but just looks like a standard plastic handle and is a bugger to turn. Got any darker Oak? That would look good....or maybe unfinished blanks aren't available because it isn't really grown in Australia? Jacaranda wood maybe?
Brett_H Nup... Bein as it is that I'm from Tarnsville I reckon Mango's the shot. Nice and glossy with silvery tones on occasion. Go for bling as a contrast the the sedate 'matter of fact' look of the machine.

derrilex AM, stuffed around with some F14 forrest red today. Retains a lot more colour than the iron bark I gave KK and is no where near as hard. Could be a go if KK's stuff is too hard.
