How Do I Make This Handle

Recommended Posts

I want to make a handle like the one in the picture, but I am not quite sure how to do it. My guess is that there is some kind of core (wood or 3d printed). The leather is then cut into something resembling an O, folded over the core, and stitched.

Does anyone have details regarding how to make this handle or a link to a video?

Stohlman's "The Art of Making Leather Cases" volume 2 covers several variations of this style handle (and many others).

Not sure if still available but Stohlman's "The Art of Making Leather Cases" volume 2  was available on Tandy library  for free some time ago so worth checking out their site

Just did one of those, but it was a metal inside and I covered it in Kangaroo hide.  And yes, Al Stohlman vol 2  is recommended .
