I just gotta axe...

(1/3) > >>

JW_Halverson:
Does anyone have a short and wide billet of osage suitable for making an axe handle?  Been seeing Pappy hafting axes with this and I gotta copy him. Plus, I busted the crappy ash handle off a friend's axe.

Eric Krewson:
Tell me what dimensions you need and one will be on the way.

JW_Halverson:
Short handle, about 28" long, 4 inches wide by 2 inches deep.  Should be enough meat to pull an axe handle out, I think.

Thanks!  I think I might have something nice to send back in a box to you!

Eric Krewson:
PM me your address, I seem to have lost it from our last exchange. The chunk of wood I found is huge and weighs a ton. I am headed to the shop to trim it up this morning. It has a pin or two showing on the belly that should be minor up in the sound wood. This is very tight ring osage so any runout shouldn't be a problem .

Eric Krewson:
Do you think this would work? I had to cut around checks and knots. A full sized axe handle fits on it with room to spare.
