18th century Axe handles

[BigDeutscher]

I have been buying period axe heads and would like to put new hickory handles on them
The original handles are straight
Some have a fawns foot end
Any one know where to get some?

Try this: www.beatheknives.com . He has nice handles and I think he said he would build whatever you needed.

I know its not period correct but I put a piece of straight rattan in a tomahawk head. Its damn near indestructible and after a good stain you have to really look to see what it is. Most people dont know so they ask what kind of wood it is.

Pick Axe handle, and do some whittling? :idunno:

Mr. Big:

I would recommend a double-bit axe handle. There is acompany called Link Handles that makes replacements for axes, hatchets and shovels, etc. You can also get a piece of KILN DRIED ash or hickory and make one from scratch.
