That is stainless all thread picked up at the local hardware store with brass nuts. depending on the finished size you want  1/8" 3/16 whatever size you want to use to get the right size finished product you want. Mine are made from 1/8". Chuck them up in a drill press and file /sand em down to whatever size you need.

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

Thanks. I will have to improvise. I have some files.and a rotary tool. I'm sure I can come up.with something. Was the spoon hard to n shape? I'm going for a pointed spoon and petal lifter

You can use a regular hand drill also. I used files and sandpaper while I spun the work in a drill, makes it real easy to keep the work round that way. On the spoon I used files and my Dremel tool wasn't hard at all. For the handles I just made some leather washers with my punch set then tightened down the brass nuts, filed them round, sanded and then coated them with some super sheen

Sounds like a plan. I wanted to make some matters too out of some bolts. So, that's another idea I have. Just thinking of textures for that. I like your handle too, came out great
