Large heavy Tool Handles

[Chip Hidinger]

I am looking for a 32" (approx or larger) tool handle that will accept a 1" bore bowl gouge. Thompson Tools in Greenville SC used to make a Lance that was perfect and the handle was very heavy. Some type of oil pipe with a rubberized coating. Does anyone have any suggestions for something similar?

Thanks,
Chip

Dave has standard sizes but can make any length you need. BTW - this handle bore fits the tools... never a problem. He will back his products.

Chip, If you don't mind ugly you could probably make one from 1" steel pipe. Need to check the I.D. to be sure it would work. Several of my favorite home made (and ugly) tools use some 1/2" steel pipe.
