Guys! Thanks for your replies! I had not seen that you'd replied, since I received no notification emails from the forum. Hmm.... I'll make sure to check manually in the future.
Thanks for your suggestions. I'll give a try once I get home, and get back to you.
Cheers,
Greg

Draw the face representing the area to go.
Draw the path it should follow.
Select the path.
Select the FollowMe tool.
Pick the face and it sweeps along the path.
The form is made, including unwanted geometry.
Erase unwanted geometry - you now have the handle 'recess' removed from the slab, with its faces formed as needed. -
pretty much the same thing as jean's method but done on the wood(?) itself..
