How did you mount your handles and what are they made from?

Full convex grinds
Stick tang with a brass nut. Epoxied with Accraglass.
Handles are hard figured maple, colored with RWWilson's Majestic Maple chromic acid and finished with Watco's danish oil done in a stockmakers finish.
Here's another look . I'm kind apartial to maple :-)
