Robert Larson™ turning tool handles were designed in consultation with a leading woodturning company (established over a century ago) A solid brass sleeve is mounted on the front rear of the handle to strengthen the fitting of the blade tang into the handle. Each tool has been evaluated and given the best size handle for the job.
- The steel is M2 molybdenum based high speed steel which is machined from the solid stock in most cases. A few tools are entirely forged into shape. The tool is heat treated, being hardened and tempered to sixty-two degrees on the Rockwell "C" scale.
- The cutting edge is carefully ground, with this being followed by hand glazing and polishing of the tool surface. Polishing is linear to the blade length.
- The handle starts with a blank of quality ash wood which is shaped into a unique style with beaded grips. These handles have an oil finish which provides a firmer grip.
