    How thick a block of cutouts did you use to get the handle that thickness?

    This one started out at 2 7/8 x 1 x 3/8 inches. Very careful drill press work will get the hole just right. Some shaping on a belt and some 1" crocus cloth, then finishing with 600 and 1000 grit by hand. The finished handle with bolsters is 3".
