Scott, where do you get your handles? Thanks
I was getting them from House Handles in MO, but I was getting about 50% culls. Also be prepared to remove a lot of wood from them, but that's far better than not having enough to work with. About a year ago I found a local guy that runs a saw mill and makes handles, so that's my avenue right now.
Avoid Beaver Tooth handles.
Also, Whiskey River has good handles, inventory is spotty and they are a bit pricey but they are good to go.
