My grandmother has a very old pressure cooker that has the handles broken off of them. She asked me to make her a new set out of wood for replacements. I have the 2 halves of one of the handles. My first thought was that wood wouldn't really do well as handles for the pressure cooker. My second thought was why didn't she get a new one, but I didn't dare ask her cause this was her mother's cooker, that belonged to her mother's mother. Well.. something like that, it has sentimental value to her. Been in her family for a very long time. I thought about glueing it together, but I still only have 1 handle, and need 2. (the other cracked to many pieces and was thrown out)
I don't think it would be too hard to make. I'd probally use a template bit and my router. My question to everyone is....
Will the handle split and crack in no time flat when it's subjected to the heat of the pressure cooker?
Here's the pictures of the handle I have:
