Welcome! / Forums / General Woodworking Discussions / Projects / cane handle
this is my first attempt at a cane handle as this is the first time ive used a rasp i dont have a lot to compare to but i do think the Narex rasps i have are a bit course for this type of work but so far so good
Well done Eddy! It looks really good. I look forward to seeing the finished cane.
thanks Greg i need to go timber shopping tomorrow for the stem material as the stock ive got is too thin
nice job eddie .what grain of narex rasp did you use was looking at a few on workshop heaven site but fine it a bit confusing.
hi David the grain is an eight i think but i didnt get an option in the shop i got them from these are the only grain they stock
thanks Mark i’m not quite sure of the wood, it is from a stretcher from an old dining table that was sold to me as dark oak i never throw any wood away 🙂
Hi Eddy
The handle looks fine , why do you say the rasp is a bit course? Did it take a lot of sanding to get the finish in the photos
Hi david
yes it took a bit more sanding than i expected but that could have been down to my inexperiance with the rasps maybe when i’ve made some more i’ll get”a handle on it” thanks.
That Narex rasp is quite course. You can get quite a lot of the marks out with the scraper, but another option would be to follow it up with a standard half round file from, for example, Bahco. They are quite inexpensive. Incase that’s any help.
