Smedbergs REPLACEMENT AXE HANDLES are made from premium quality American hickory.
Made from hickory because it's a durable, strong and flexible wood with long straight fibres for a long life.
Soaked in hot linseed oil then waxed to make it resistant to dirt and water.

If you are not familiar with specifying an axe handle, the first number is the handle length, the second number the widest part of the eye-wood and the third umber is the narrowest part of the eye-wood. So, the smallest 'Smedbergs REPLACEMENT AXE HANDLE - Curved 270mm x 40mm x 15mm' is 270mm long with eye wood that is approx. 40mm x 15mm.
Remember: when measuring up for a new axe handle always take the lower eye opening as this is normally a little smaller than the top opening.
PLEASE NOTE: it is normal when fitting a new axe handle that careful and cautious wood removal is required to achieve a good safe fit. Wood removal is normally done with a Cabinet Rasp.
The wooden wedge should always be glued in place. See our TITEBOND wood glues
