>In paintings and prints you sometimes see them with turned handles, which
means that the flat part must have been fixed on this separately.
not at all.
just turn the part you want turned in the lathe, leaving the end part

whatever shape you wish by riving and shaving.
>I've seen one on the website of our national open air museum
with a carved face on the plaque. See:

"Be careful, children, or you will get a visit from Smiling Hans!"
