"Ted Frater"

Id also put a center into the handle end and support that in a running
center as the knife blade is likely to be not strong wenough to take the
cutting load.

I guess I was talking faster than I was thinking.. there is also the fork to
deal with. I might just be easier to rough cut it with the band saw and
then round it on the belt sander. If I need a better fit I could then put
it in the lathe to touch up.
