   What different species of wood was used for the laminated strips?

   Thanks

   I'd like to know who makes that fluting bit. I haven't been able to find one that large.

   For anyone else wondering about the fluting bit used for the finger grips, check the video at the link below. This page has a link to it and it's called "3/4-inch Edge Fluting Bit". I think the full reference is: Woodline WL-1475, 3/8″ Radius, 3/4″ Cut Length, 1-1/2″ Dia, 1/2″ Shank.

   I've found that, using a good sharp ½ inch 6 tpi bandsaw blade, there's no need for routing the curves - the sawn edges can be glued together directly, seamlessly if they are cut together with the two boards to be joined one on top of the other. I learnt this technique from Larry Chant (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXCLwxR0SE4) and it really is very quick and easy once the bandsaw is properly tuned.
   I've used it for boxes and bandsawn boxes. If I'd used a curve cutting template (Fine Woodworking Nov/Dec 2018), the resulting curves would have been smoother. Here's a couple of examples:
