Suitable wood for saucepan lid handle
Hi,
I'm in the UK and have been wood turning for about four years now. Over those years I've lurked this group on a regular basis. I need to replace the handle/knob off a saucepan lid and was wondering what would be a suitable wood to use (and available in the UK) to withstand the heat and steam. The existing knob is a light coloured wood (yellowy orange) but I've no idea what. All suggestions appreciated. Thanks for reading.

Hi Rog
I would use beech or sycamore which were commonly used before plastic, you should be able to find both easily here in th UK. Cheers Michael http://www.usenet.com |

I would suggest a wood with a very tight grain. Regards, Hank |
