Turned these over the May day weekend
Elm burr with a 26mm plisson knot just for a test fitment, yet to apply the final coating.

and this white and blue resin handle, the white i used the opaque resin which has gave it a slight off white colour and I added metal into the blue which was difficult to capture with the camera on the phone.

Elm burr handle No.2, this piece has some voids in it that I plan to fill with a bit of colour just can't decide what colour to go with yet.

Are they filled with coloured epoxy?

Not yet, red coloured epoxy seems to be a popular suggestion so far.

Was just asking if that was what you would be filling with.

Then, I assume, they will be sanded down or turned a little to level it with the original surface.

I like the idea to fill with red epoxy, looking forward to seeing the finnished handle. P.
