The handle is cracked pretty badly near the horn. It's still usable but feels like it could snap any day, especially when doing heavier rip cuts, so I already started searching online for replacement handles but they're either overpriced like wdym $70+ for a piece of wood or not quite the right pattern for the D-8. Some are close but the bolt holes don't match perfectly.
Anybody know where I could find an original replacement handle, or is this something I can make myself? I've got some okay woodworking skills and access to some nice walnut, but I've never carved a saw handle before and not sure about the ergonomics, just seems like there's a lot that could go wrong in terms of comfort
