I wanted to put a subtle angular taper in the handle, so I used a router & a pattern bit to cut the taper.
What I did not know at the time is that leopardwood acts just like poison ivy, and I managed to get the sawdust all over me.

In this pic the cuts are halfway done, I've cut the long taper on the left side but haven't yet cut the short ones on the right.
