Juniper wood handle

Wood reddish brown to yellow, fairly hard, with fine grain and distinct white sapwood. 

Juniper, also called Cade, is easily recognizable by its very pleasant spicy smell. It is rot-proof!

Used in fumication, juniper wood is a powerful antiseptic: it was burned in homes during epidemics. 

It is used in the production of pencils, pipes and knife handles. Wanted in filming and art sculpture.
