Thx
Both ends to be joined are machined drop dead perfect flat,blind 1/4in hole is bored dead center in each piece about 3/8s deep.
one piece remains centered in the chuck,liberal amounts of epoxy are applied.
Both pces are clamped overnight using the tailstock with a live center.
The blind hole forms a solid epoxy dowel of sorts,you can see no glue lines on my two part handles.

Dude, that is beautiful and thanx for the explanation of the 2 part how-to

May I ask how you cut the 2 pieces to join them? What saw(s) or tools do you use?

Thanx

Rough cut them on the bandsaw,true them on the lathe.

Thanx much. I've got some Padauk wood that I'd like to try & combine with various materiels ie., polyester, horn, truestone etc

Thats cool,just do it,need to play with diff adhiesives for diff materials.
Porous stuff like wood I sometimes use Polys,sometimes epoxys.
I did a killer handle for a guy a few years ago,bottom section was fossil Walrus,middle section was a slice of meteorite,walrus cap.That had to be screwed together.
