      Since no one else has chimed in, maybe this idea will get you started.

      Draw a center line for the handle.
      Add sections--I used Chris Fullmer's Perpendicular Face Tools from the EW.
      Use Curviloft.

      Clearly my handle isn't smooth enough but more segments in the centerline and maybe a few more profiles would improve it. Work at a much larger scale to avoid creation of holes. due to tiny faces.

          Alternatively, if you wanted to be able to do something like this quickly, you can follow-me to create the basic shape, then scale the ends like so:

            And make sure to correct the face orientation. 😉

              Nah, it's an antihandle. Just don't put it anywhere near a handle, or they'll annihilate eachother 😄

                That would explain why none of my beer glasses have handles. 😄

                      hi,

                      all of you have pretty good results!

                      and of course, thanks for showing almighty artisan in action.

                      curviloft ruby is a great tool too.

                          that´s a good idea ! (and beer is good as well !!!) 😉
                          if your invitation is also valid for a beer bottle, this is my contribution

                            sure, why not...beer bottle or glass is fine:-) ( ..even non-alcoholic one )

                            good job Horn☮xx !
