Nice! What kind of wood?
I've been meaning to try making hammer handles. Those are a bit tricky, you have to turn an oval shape so basically you do one offset turning to turn one side, then move the center of rotation to the other side and turn the other side.

I had a scrap of red oak laying here, so I just used it.
Heres a offset handle I was doing some years back.

The sides were slightly flat, done intentionally

If you keep the same center point on on end and uses 2 offset centers on the other end you can create a handle that is oval on one end and round on the other.

I hear you can get one from the big orange box for nearly nothing.
Nice job.
