Help with Axe handle replacement

[GarethM]

Just buy your self a new axe if you're not prepared to do it yourself or atleast attempt it.

No money in it so probably no one offers it as a service as will  cost more than a new or second hand axe...

 

I know some guy making new handles from ash though but hes in Dartmoor.

Maybe you could try him dunno if its going to be  worth the hassle though.....you'd ether have to post  them or go there on a road trip etc?

 

Could try the Locals mens shed?

If you send me a photo of your axe head I can sort you out 

I stock everything from 12” hatchet handles right through too 

36” single bit and double bit handles

As above, posting the axe head out might be the way to go. I'd normally always recommend popping in somewhere in person but some of the road trips suggested might be quite a trip (if you want convincing of the finances, my car costs about 25p a mile fuel I think, 4 mile round trip to the £1, courier postage might be £5, so anyone further than 10 miles away (10 there, 10 back) and post would be cheapest option).

 

However I am sure if you get the right handled sent to you you can do it.

 

 

Noting that I put a new handle on a hatchet this year and really struggled to get a local supplier,

Thank you all very much for your help, I will give it a go and see how I get on.

Once you get it to fit take it off and stick it in with epoxy glue also it will take up any bad shaping.
