Home made holds

Since the woody has gone up, i've been busy making a few holds out of the scraps of wood left lying about. My best effort so far is this one which i liked so much I decided to call it Jeff! Its just an offcut from building the woody rounded off and a groove in the top and a slight thumb depression underneath made with a belt sander



nb. this topic is not 'look how good my hold making skill is' but to get some ideas to get some intresting hold designs that are more than just banister rail holds and bolt ons. (maybe worth moving to the add your knowledge section bubba?)
