The wooden handle will be stained and sealed with polyurethane. My hope is this will protect it from elements and what not. Since it is only held in place with 2 lag screws my thought is this handle can be replaced easily when needed.ronn1234 wrote:I really like the Hog brackets, also are you worried at all with the cleanliness of wooden handle? What about the longevity of life for the wood rotting. I did a bracket on each side on mine and put a 1/2 inch diameter 2 inch long tab on each bracket and put a galvanized 1 1/2 inch pipe for a handle. The tabs allow the handle to free spin so as i open the door the handle rotates with the position of the door.
I believe the feet of the hogs will serve that purpose very well =)El Gato wrote:hogs look like they could be used also a bottle openers
