Have you reversed the sides you pull from? Or have you tried pulling a
long strap handle by reversing the length (upside down).
I pull long handle for teapots. I pull long even handles for casseroles
and mugs. For the mugs, I cut the even handles into 1 1/2"-2" lengths,
stick them on the pot and pull the taper from there.
My studio mate in college apprenticed with Byron Temple. He taught me
the mug method mentioned above.
