Look plenty good to me as well! Getting the ferrules to fit a bit better will come with more practice but there sure ain't nothing wrong with what you have.

Very nice!
Note that y.poplar accepts dye very well. You can make it look like cherry, for example, ebonize it for black; how about blue handles? I've used leather dye on wood since it is easy to find locally.

Thanks John. Yes, I built a small end table a couple years back and dyed it a mahogany color. I found I had to be careful of blotching, but that's manageable. I havent tried leather dye, but now I will. I had a good experience using india ink as dye - very black and uniform.
Thanks again!
