Today in the shop we are making a single bit axe handle from a piece of 8/4 Ash lumber. I picked up this piece of Ash from my local lumberyard. I went to pick up more 8/4 Hickory, but they were out at the time, so I got this Ash. I’m really happy I did because I’m really pleased with the way the wood works and how this handle turned out. As I said, only time will tell as to the way I use this Ash handle and the overall comfort of the 30 inch length, but so far I’m really pleased with the way it feels and handles.

Follow this link if you would like to see the video where I restored the Collins Legitimus single bit axe head that I hung on this handle.
