    Any woodturners on here making replacement handles for le Creuset cookware?
    I need a frying pan handle preferably in Elm, I can buy one on ebay but would rather try and find a local source, keep it local and all that kind of thing.
    anyone?

    I can do this for you but I have no elm at the moment - what other timber would you accept?

    Anything that is resistant to splitting.
    The original handles are Teak or similar.

    Would Mahogany do?

    Or Iroko?

    Both are stable and not prone to splitting.
    I would go for Iroko - it's a bit stronger, I think.

    Don't see any reason why not.

    Yeah, Iroko would be fine, I wonder how it holds up to heat?
    I suppose I'll be finding out!
    Do you need the old one to take measurements off? Or will I measure it?
    I was thinking that I wouldn't mind a chunkier handle one that doesn't have so many curves, more like the fat pot handles that I linked to.
    It would be stronger as well.

    Probably holds up to heat as well as most timber - I don't really know.
    I'll send you a pm.
