Thanks, Prashun!
The handle is attached with countersunk #6 1" screws from the underneath - plugged with pear (LV has a nice plug cutter set for the drill press) from box scrap. The screws are part of the reason the handle began looking like a bone even before I chose to let it - I was leaving meat for the anticipated attachment.
Oh, and there are no photography skills here! Go outside at the golden hour - set the camera on auto and snap. lol
