I ordered two axe handles and extra wedges. Very impressed with the quality of the items. Ordering was easy and shipping was just fine. I haven’t hung my axes yet, but I’m confident they will work out nicely. Thanks!
A great quality handle. The feel in hand is nice, the palm swell is excellent, quality of wood and grain exceptional. It even came oiled which I did not ask for. The oil was deeply saturated into the handle which was actually pretty nice and saved me a lot of time in the way I traditionally oil and finish my handles. My only nitpick… the taper that goes into the eye was too narrow. I had to do a lot of sculpting and sink the head down onto the neck about as far as I could go to fill the gaps. And even then I needed to cut the wedge to be oversized to fill the gap at the front of the eye, as well as sink a large round wedge to mushroom the head enough for a solid fit. The dimensions given on the website showed that the fit would be within 1/32 inch on each side of the eye. It was not. More like 1/8 inch. And it was a bit short in length of the eye too. But a far cry and light years better than the junk you get from the big box stores. I would still recommend these handles and will be purchasing more in the future.
Absolutely stunning handle! I almost don’t want use it… almost
very nice handle. Mounted a Collins Michigan single bit axe on it
highest quality handles you will find absolutely perfect and gorgeous !
This handle is everything I have come to expect from a Hoffman. The handle is beautiful and even has some curl in the grain. They are well made and very easy to hang.
My gramp passed and I rehung his dad’s old Plumb double but as a gift for my brother. Looks good to me.
Straight grained and finished well. Have been using it a lot the last couple of days and am very pleased with these handles.
A simple thing like a kerf cut can make or break a handle. It is nice to have it done properly right from the source.
Gorgeous handle, I have ordered handles from many craftsman, this is by far the most affordable high end work I have come across! I’ll be back again!
Flawless, perfect amount of oil, flat bottom for mounting a head. A little thin compared to off the shelf handles but clearly made from selected mature hickory from the grain. I was skeptical to pay this much for an axe handle and was pleasantly surprised with the attention to detail and quality.
beautiful and solid handle! I am working on restoring the axe head now...cant wait to hang the head on this handle! Can you make one in Flame maple??
Got a very nice 28” handle with fast shipping. It turned out to be just perfect. I sanded it and fitted the eye then put a light burn on it.
Excellent service shipped very quick and great quality handle. Will definitely get more products from you.
