Hey @TroyTools , how much for handle only and is that the same for 24mm and 26mm? Have you any photos of 24mm handles available?
For specifics, better to PM me, but for some starting points, I'll be asking $100 + postage for the 24 & 26 mm handles, and some "slender" 28mm handle shapes in single or simple 2 colours. These are cut from the small moulds.
Multicoloured, and wider diameter 28mm shapes, and certainly 30mm handles $105 due to larger mould requiring more resin / higher consumables usage.
The 28mm knots into these small moulds requires some caution and creativity with the shape around the knot, as it's getting thin in the wall thickness near the undercut.
Please remember that these handles are one off custom poured, turned and polished in Australia by my hand, and not by machine in a far off country using CNC machines spitting them out cheaply at a thousand an hour from bar stock that are all the same.
I've been doing more casting than turning this week (hence the need for more resin) so I do have a number of blanks already cast and ready to turn to requested shapes for 24 & 26 & 28mm knot hole specs.
Handle turning recommences next week while I wait for resin order.
The bottom photo is the custom poured blanks I have that you've seen before from TF Customs, like Phantom Nebula, Sand and Waves, Rainbow Falls, Lava Demons, Berrylisious, Dark Ninja, Ice Fusion (last one), Candy Apple (last one), Tigers Fury, Dark Blood, Malachite etc. Due to their initial outlay cost, these will be $110 handle only + postage. These blanks are not for sale in raw state.
(I have many knots too BTW)
Apologies if this is hijacking Molika's thread. Admins can move if deemed appropriate of course.
