Ok, I ground off the one mushroom, the ring just popped off. Drills, chisels and a rasp, to clean out the wooden plug...
Found an old Harbour Freight Lathe chisel......decided I had better uses for the handle...( no lathe, anyway, right now)

Took a bit of shapping, fitting, and cussing. Handle is now solid and tight. Edge had a bit of a curve to it...like this ). Reground that until it is straight across.

And honed to to about 1000 grit, for now. I did flatten the back a bit..
