Sneak peak.
bjrogg:
I’m watching Arvin. I’m interested in your outcome and what you learn from this one.
My suggestion for gluing on handle is to rip som thin laminate strips on your table saw. No more than say 1/4” thick. Then prep everything like normal. Stack the laminate’s together with glue between each piece. Clamp it good and tight. ( I use TB 2 so I clamp tight might not want to clamp as tightly with epoxy) and let dry.
The thin laminate strips will bend slightly if they have to and not pop off. You can use a couple of different wood types to make it more interesting. I’ve had really good results using this method and never had one pop off

See if I can find a picture
bjrogg:
The reason I use the thin strips is so the handle doesn’t pop off. You don’t have to use different wood types, but it’s an easy way to get a nice look. At least I like it.

I do the same and put a kind of powerlam as the first layer.
I had the same problems in the past when I glueed on a handle, after I switched to the powerlam solution all my handles still hold...

Will black walnut be strong enough? I have some bow limb laminates about 3/32” thick . And I think I will get some slower setting glue.
