I made these octagonal shaped chisel handles on my tablesaw and drill press. They are made of torrefied maple. I have some Narex Chisels that I like but not the handles and intended to replace them with these. Most of the time, I use my Stanley Sweethearts and seldom use the Narex, so I've put off changing the handles out. Someday, they'll get their chance and be in their glory! LOL.
I think that’s a great shape for chisels you’re going to be a little hard on…and the torrefied maple will be strong enough to take a beating. Makes me want to swap mine over!
