I've been re-profiling and carving handles for axes, hatchets, and tools for years. This is fantastic work. Nice job!

That is some nice work. Great looking hatchet handle. Excellent work. Two thumbs up.

Nicely done! Sometimes you really piss me off

Sorry Matt

I did some finish shaping and smoothed it out. It's ready for sanding. I cut the tongue down, rounded it over a little, and made a center cut 2/3 of the length. I cut a wedge from a piece of walnut. I'm going to sand it after lunch and then mount the head on it.

Sanded to 600 grit and burnished with paper towels.

I drove the wedge in as far as I could. I gave it a few more wacks and it broke off flush. The head feels solid. I hope it holds. I'll post some finished pictures when I'm done putting the tung oil on it.
