Recently I received a few nice chunks of wood from the wife's co-worker. Not sure what it is but it is heavier-than-expected even though green. I figure it would make some good handles. The question- where can I get/what can I use for the farrell (sic)? Making them myself is a first choice. I thought some copper tubing would be a good choice but fear it will look just a bit dare I say, crappy when it is bent over to cover the very end of the handle. However if the purpose of a farrell is to keep the wood from splitting out then perhaps copper tubing would work.
