home made ax handle
« on: September 11, 2015, 04:25:20 pm »
Nothing to do this morning so I made a handle for my axe. It mulberry with sap wood and a ash wedge, with a coat of linseed oil. Idle hands are the devil's workshop >:D.  //s899.photobucket.com/user/ssgtchad/media/20150911_145157_zpsrp8dnxig.jpg.html [/URL]

Yeah about that I live in Texas don't need much fire wood down here. It was more of can i do it more than anything.  Was fun though.  It weird how much satisfaction you can get out of making something you don't really need.  Actually I needed it the other broke trimming some osage. And I'm too broke to buy a replacement.  :o

Sweet job... it's one of those jobs that you think should be quick and easy, but it isn't unless you want a loose handle and blisters every time you use it ::).
I have one old one that really needs a new handle, but I use it more as a wedge when splitting... it's on my yeah, yeah, I'll get round to it one day list...

I sure wish I could figure out how to do that. I can't even fit a store bought one right. Thanks for sharing.
