npub1m8vq2sjqqjxk27n66zqjl0kkzmxy02xec0ypagd7ujj02x2juy0s4jw90y (npub1m8v…w90y) I have a chunk of birch branch, about a foot long. I made it round-ish with a drawknife, and made the handle smaller and roundish with the same drawknife and a saw. Then I soaked the end grain of it with glue, which had the benefit of holding the birch together longer than it would have without the glue.
