I also used two pieces of the same stock to make the handles--and then heated it with a torch so I could drill 1/8" holes through all pieces. I used pop rivets to secure the handles, and then covered it with a piece of heat-shrink.
From stock to polishing the project took 1-1/2 hour.
I always seem to have a shortage of simple hook picks...
It's not beautiful, but my picks seem to do their job, which is all I ask.
