So I picked up a bag of 3/8 threaded inserts to make a tap handle. I have to say. those inserts are a freaking pain in the rear, to not only drive but center well in end grain. Of course I have to credit my poor installment for my first successful tap handle. Because one of my inserts was driven at an angle during the process, I was left with an off center blank. I decided to turn it for practice, but actually ended up liking it. The flat spot has a nice feel in your hand. Like it was meant to be there. It almost reminds me of an exclamation point. As if to say, "Beer!" Claro Walnut 7" CA Finish SOLD
