Hello all, I just re-hung my Hults Bruk splitting axe. It was a handle I already had here, so I thought I would give it a shot. I fully realize it’s not perfect by any means.

The wedge is cherry and obviously the handle is ash. I was curious what the best way of securing the wedge in place would be? I can absolutely cut some metal wedges if that’s the best bet. Just wasn’t certain if there were others.

Also, would adding some beeswax to fill the gaps in the front and back help with stability?

Thanks!

I've been looking to find the heaviest double bit felling axe head I can find to put on a new 44" Puget sound style handle I ordered recently. I have an axe head but it can't be much more than 4 pounds max. I know they've made 6 pound heads and maybe even 8 but I can't find any. If anyone has one in eastern Canada and are willing to part with it let me know!

Hello I bought marbles # 5 axe head at a garage sale and I’m looking to see how much it’s worth as I’m having a hard time finding info online for pricing. Any help please !

Got some pitting and missing a claw. Might end up cutting off the remaining claw and use the axe for something idk what though

Amazes me every time what people throw away

My first fully handmade handle, got some persimmon wood and read that it was hard and used as drumsticks and golf club heads, decided that was good enough for a hatchet handle. Just finished with danish oil and will test her tomorrow. My only concern is the persimmon is too rigid and may snap under heavy hits, but I’ll find out.

Used the old, I believe original handle as a template but went chunkier close to the head to ensure longevity. Head sits on an 1/8 in shoulder, making the shoulder at that angle was difficult to get symmetrical.

Just picked this up at the local tip. Looking forward to cleaning it up.

Amazes me what people throw away almost every time.
