Wood handle source

I need to source a Walnut handle for an Ultra-light trout rod. I have a client that wants one duplicated if possible. The original builder is out of business. If anyone here is interested or can point me in another direction I appreciate it. I'm getting the details but the one he has is about 6" in the back and has a mod wells shape and the fore is about 1.5" with a flat spot on top for the thumb.

Did you check Archie's? I have never dealt with him but he does gorgeous work.

Before beginning to turn handles myself; I have used the Handles from Steve Peck.

Very high quality handles at a reasonable price.

Give him a call.

I have seen his work on another local MN builders rods and they are very nice. For the money they cannot be beat.
