Looks great. I think a solid top would be a nice contrast on it. I'd vote walnut.

I like the looks of the first two for the handle myself.
You can post one up you like as well. I was just offering up an initial palette.Of those four, I would vote for #2.
Steve, did it take longer to glue it up or turn it? You've done it again, beautiful.

I'm with number 2 as well.
It is indeed beautiful. And therein lies the art: finding the shape that is in there. I could never do that. Though I did cut hair well, which was kinda like that....Dave ,it takes the most time cutting and glueing and then cutting and glueing and then waiting for the glue to set
the turning part goes fast once you look at the wood and find the shape that is in there .
