Difference Boolean issue
I'm having an issues where I am trying to subtract a cylinder polygon from a curved handle in order to make a hole; instead everything disappears.
How I made the handle:
I used the CV curve to create the initial shape, then planar trimmed it. I then extended the solid, and mirrored the resulting object to get a symmetrical pattern.
Any help will be gracious.

Live and learn I say.
If I was to curve a CV curve, and then convert to polygon, would I run into the same issue?
(I'm an amateur...doh cuss meh)

I tried to upload the maya file, but apparently I cannot do that.
So how to upload a mesh?
