It's an old peavey, just needs a handle?
I have a lathe at work and could make a handle. The biggest challenge is finding an appropriately large chunk of dry wood. I recently cut some ash blanks to ro re-handle a set of pruning loppers, but if I were to charge ahead and turn those handles now, they'd loosen up inside of a month or so.
The handle from mine was made from a couple of inch thick ash boards that were glued with biscuits, then put on the lathe.
No need to dress these things up for a date...
