At a Chubby style handle. I've never actually seen one outside of a picture, but have always liked the look, and I tried for the middle-of-the-road Chubby 2 with an Elite Razors 26mm Manchurian White knot set at 52mm.
My BIL makes butcher block with inlays and uses a few different exotic woods. He has some scraps that are too small for him to do much with but are perfect for combining into something like this, and I've been having a lot of fun with it lately. The handle is made of Padauk, Maple and Black Walnut.
In retrospect I should have sanded the bare wood down a little farther. The padauk sands into an incredibly fine powder, and some of it lodged in a couple of rough spots in the maple, which can be seen in the pic. I'll choose to call it character added by the handmade process and be happy with it lol.
