Oily's nice axe handle inspired me to take a swing at handlecraft. ( I'm not sure just how many puns are in that last statement considering that I made the handle from an old baseball bat)  Anyway, here is my first effort using a lathe, a rasp and sandpaper. Stain and Galoot Mix are the next step.



Looks very good. You sure this is your first time doing a handle? LOL
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
