Hand Split Lumber

These kiln dried 36”, hand split hickory lumber billets are a premium material choice for your next custom axe handle project. Each billet is hand split, not sawed, to guarantee straight and even grain down the length of the board. The 2 inch thick lumber makes a generous palm swell while the 3.5 inch wide billet is enough for extreme curvy handles.

If grade 1 material isn't necessary for your project, check out our grade 2 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.

It’s beautiful

It’s beautiful. I plan to haft a jersey pattern wood slasher on it.

pros and cons

Both handles were beautifully shaped with the grain running in proper direction. One is very solid and the other is cracked, hung them both because there’s not enough time left in the season to wait for another handle, well see how they hold up.
