What Is This?

Does anyone know what the stuff is called that's used as filler inside rolled handles?

I've attached a picture that I found online.

Has anyone tried making rolled handles? What has worked well as a filler for you?

I am making a man bag, so I prefer the handles to be pretty rugged and stiff (I know some people use rope as filler, but I find it kind of flimsy).

Cheers guys.

I've tried a lot of different things. The thing that I've found works best is nylon rope. You can get it in whatever diameter you want. Make sure it's firm enough that it doesnt compress too much when bent. Of you look at my galleries you'll see bags I've made using this rope for handle cores.
