Awesome job there Rodney. Is there a thread anywhere that explains how to properly fit a handle to an Axe head? You make it look easy. I have no luck at all.

My old timer buddy showed me some pointers like pencil lines in center all the way around. Once lines are in place set head zackly were it should be and trace the shape on end of handle.As your fitting the head you site along handle to bit edge to to keep it straite. And yes it can be frustrating but this has helped me. Just FYI the pic I just posted I didn't carve that one out. Keep trying ts only wood [emoji38]

Fast is with a 5 inch wide belt sander and a sharpie i can get them as close as i need quickly.
Draw knife sanding or whittling takes much longer.

I'm going to try to finish my Kelly's perfect and my neighbors Kelly's single bit this week .
It's been hot and I've been lazy.
Got the hickory double axe handle for free on the right found it in my nephews garage and he gave it to me.

I see your Beretta.

Ok gittin a little closer on the small hatchet Dallas gave me. Decided to go with a hex shaped handle to show off the curly a bit better. Only some stain on it at this point. I also tapered the handle to get fatter on the end. I'm hoping a bunch of linseed oil will make it look better. Here yah go.

Looks great Rodney, I like the wall behind it as well.

Got this one from EBay was listed as a Plump axe head very pleased

 

[ajschainsaws]

My ash handles are for mattock's but once the end is cut make good double bit handles

 

[Czed]

Festive aren't they.
I spotted these driving a backroad
No idea the maker the large single and double are vintage.
The boys axe looked new with a very skinny handle.
He has a wide assortment of horribly painted vintage tools.

the boys axe is old but i don't know who made it.
Feels good and light.
