for all your axe related purchases these people are charming, helpful, knowledgeable and have a good range of quality stuff.

my new smedberg handle is being wrapped for postage

it was really nice discussing an axe with somebody who knew what i was talking about and understood why the right handle matters as much as the right head.

after some woodwork and a lot of sanding i finally tapped it into place and fitted the wedges
tis rather nice ( smug emoji )

the balance is a little better and i will get used to the extra mass in the handle.

i managed to be patient and diligent, resisting temptation to use a chisel so after a little saw and knife work shaping the tongue to the eye ended up as precise engineering by eye with al o2 paper and a big but padded hammer

now for a small regrind and sharpen
