KNIFE MAKER
I recently came into several nice pieces of curly Maple a guy was giving away that I'd like to use for an ax handle. I know people use it for tomahawks and such, just wondering about grain orientation and if there's anything along those lines I would need to pay attention to.
They are nice thick pieces. I also plan to use some for knife scales. Here's what I'm interested in using it on:
I made this from a Harbor Freight Fireman's hatchet. On this one I used a youth sized hickory ax handle I picked up from a local hardware store. Stock removal isn't just for knives . I've been wanting to make some more.
