Chisel Handles

Oklahoma's weather makes the national news pretty often, it seems. If it's not the heat, then it's either floods, tornadoes, or something else. This time it's a major ice storm. But this past Saturday was a beautiful day, just perfect for leaving the garage/shop door open and working all day making large pieces of wood into smaller ones.
I had several old chisels awaiting new handles, so I set up the old 10-ER as a lathe and went to work. I wanted to experiment with the handle shapes and overall size, so I just started with a picture of some handles I liked, and started turning. The two larger ones are made from hard maple; the smaller one from pecan.

I like the shape of the handles, but I the sizes aren't quite right. I think I'll be better suited to handles sized between the larger and smaller ones. Also, I think I'll stain the next ones dark.
