Quote from: Oxford_Guy on October 07, 2016, 01:28:02 AMSyph, have you considered doing the corkscrew eyeglass screwdriver handle milled from a nice wood, but same design as the Vic one? Would seem like a simple and quite elegant solution, or is there a flaw in this idea (other than it would only work for SAKs with the corkscrew)?Would look a damn site better than the Vic grey plastic one on your beautiful designs. Or natural black rubber, maybe.The difficulty with wood is that somewhere you are going to have a very narrow section with the grain running across it, which will likely be too weak. Possible with lignum vitae or jarrah perhaps.
