Years ago, most turning tools came without handles, leaving turners to fashion their own to their specific needs. This made perfect sense as who better suited to make a wood handle than a wood turner. Turners were able to make handles that better fit their hands, were designed for the task at hand and that used whatever wood was readily available. Easy Wood Tools offers the majority of their tools in unhandled versions to allow turners the flexibility to turn their own custom handles. These unhandled tool bars are the exact same as the ones in their handled tools.
