The plastic from which the kitchen handle was made had aged and became sticky and unpleasant to the touch.
I decided to make another handle, a wooden one. More precisely, from birch suvel (svil). This is a growth that forms on the trunk of a tree.
The texture of suveli is similar in pattern to marble and mother-of-pearl.
Suvel is most suitable for making knife handles because it is harder and denser than ordinary wood and is easy to polish. Suvel is also called wood bone.
I sawed off suvel at a logging site, for a long time, with difficulty.
The texture of suvel is better revealed if it is coated with varnish or mineral oil. I coat it with mineral varnish.
I broke the old handle. It shows in detail how I made a new handle from birch wood.
A wooden handle is more pleasant to hold than a plastic one.
