Today I removed the clamps and started in on planing part of the hand hold so it matches the taper of the airfoils down to the trailing edges. This went pretty fast and easy. I the lightly sanded it and rounded the corners a bit and called it good for now. Still needs some more sanding and trimming but I will wait until I am ready for that.
