Making Handles out of Bones, Bamboo, Blazerods, and more!

    It seems to me that a blaze rod handle is a bad idea, and bamboo is already involved in the crafting of a stick. A handle made of bones, horns - quite historical and applicable.

This isn't supposed to directly tie to crafting but more so what can be substituted as a handle and show where someone's been
