Handle for new tool

I ordered another tool from Woodchuck Lathe Tools. This tool has a 15mm square carbide cutter. Today I made a handle for it using Zambezi Teak from Zambezi Exotics. The handle was pretty easy to make as the tool comes with a round tang. After rounding the blank I held it at the headstock end in a chuck. I supported the tail stock end with my hand as I drilled a hole in it. Then it was simply a matter of turning a tenon to fit the 1″ copper coupler and shaping the handle. I finished it with a couple of coats of Shellac.
