Suitable wood for saucepan lid handle

Hi,



I'm in the UK and have been wood turning for about four years now. Over those years I've lurked this group on a regular basis.



I need to replace the handle/knob off a saucepan lid and was wondering what would be a suitable wood to use (and available in the UK) to withstand the heat and steam. The existing knob is a light coloured wood (yellowy orange) but I've no idea what.



All suggestions appreciated. Thanks for reading.

Hi Rog I would use beech or sycamore which were commonly used before plastic, you should be able to find both easily here in th UK. Cheers Michael

Rog, Just about any hardwood should be suitable. I would suggest a wood with a very tight grain. Regards, Hank
