Stabilized wood is the solution to your problem but that may not be easy to get in Denmark. The next best thing to try would be a stub tang handle instead of a full tang. With a stub tang the handle is one piece of wood . It may still try to expand or shrink but it will be much less noticeable. A single pin stub tang handle is also the best way to display a beautiful piece of wood since you get to see more of it ....
