Thank you everyone for the kind words of encouragement, I really appreciate it.
Now I have another blue and white handle, and it is magnificent!
Meet,...... Arctic Ice.
At 88mm, it is a long handle, and very comfortable to hold in the hand with one long slender flowing profile from top to bottom.
Still undecided about which 26mm knot it should wear. Lucky there are options, some of which are pictured below.
It looks like a scene from underneath arctic ice, or maybe even inside an ice cave with hectic looking white stalagmites and stalactites trying to meet in the translucent dark blue space.
I NEED to make more of these handle blanks! (Hopefully just as nice as this one)
Enjoy the pics, and video (my first you tube video, woohoo look at me go

)
This is the only blue synthetic knot I have.
