Kiln Dried Hickory

These kiln dried 34” and 26" hickory lumber billets are a quality material choice for your next custom axe handle project. The 1.5 inch thick lumber makes a palm swell large enough for most axe handles, while the 3.5 inch wide billet is wide enough for extreme curvy handles.

These billets are the same material we use for our grade 2 handles. The grain orientation is angled, instead of parallel like our grade 1 Premium Hickory Handle Billets.

All billets are guaranteed against external knots and flaws that compromise a handle. Internal, unforeseen flaws cannot be guaranteed in this natural material.

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.

Simple but important

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 hickory handle

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

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.

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.

beautiful product

beautiful product, great service

Very nice Handle

Very nice Handle. Grain orientation is perfect, no knots just a nice handle ( I thought it was at least a grade 2 but these folks said it is a 3. The first grade must be amazing.) hanging was fairly easy, you may want to have the kerf cut done for you. I’ve done a few so it is easy to do. All in all a great product!

Great handles

Great handles, nothing like opening a new box with handles in it. It’s as good as Christmas!

I found two small cracks in the axe head I intended to use your handle on

I found two small cracks in the axe head I intended to use your handle on .So as of now I haven’t installed the handle. I am in search of a head worthy of using that fine Hoffman handle on .
