Axe Handle Template

Axe Handle Template - I used the spoke shave very often on this project and really enjoyed the versatility of the tool. It broke rite in the middle of the haft diagonally across the grain sections. Once you can start the head onto the handle, flip the entire axe/handle combo upside down and hit the bottom of the palm swell firmly with a wooden mallet if you have one, but a ball peen hammer or 3lb. What does change is the vibration through the handle. An axe swing with a 3# head on a 30 inch handle does the same amount of force no matter if curved or straight. No matter how curvy the handle is, the swell and tongue are basically in line. If this works, then someone would only need to take a picture like about (white background with tape measure) to share a template of any handle.

What does change is the vibration through the handle. This has been a cool learning experience. There are many axe handle patterns, depending on what you would classify as a pattern. Cut out your template and you're good to go!!

And of all the hickories southeastern hickory seems to do the best. An axe swing with a 3# head on a 30 inch handle does the same amount of force no matter if curved or straight. What does change is the vibration through the handle. It has to do with strength over time and shock on the handle and user. When you look at a curved axe handle, it has a very distinct shape. Cut out your template and you're good to go!!

Fawn foot, half fawn, square, are a few foot patterns. Most have to do with the foot design overall being the main difference. I'm currently stuck on getting the word processor to spread the picture over 4 pages when printing, so if anyone has any tips, please contribute. But there is one test that applies more to axe handles than any other test there. When you look at a curved axe handle, it has a very distinct shape.

The tools i used most were the axe to hew, a spoke shave to shape and refine, and a rasp. There are a lot of ways to test wood, janka, mor, elastic modulus, crush strength, etc. Sledge works too (from experience). And of all the hickories southeastern hickory seems to do the best.

From right to left, handle it came with, handle design i wanted, handle that came out of the fire wood pile.

It Was My First Handle, It Was White Oak, It Was Laminated And.

It has to do with strength over time and shock on the handle and user. There are many axe handle patterns, depending on what you would classify as a pattern. So, after almost two years of looking and reading i finally found the full usda wood species testing information from 1935. There are a lot of ways to test wood, janka, mor, elastic modulus, crush strength, etc.

The Energy Does Not Change.

Once you get near those lines, alternate between trying to fit the head on the handle and removing material. Fawn foot, half fawn, square, are a few foot patterns. No matter how curvy the handle is, the swell and tongue are basically in line. When you look at a curved axe handle, it has a very distinct shape.

I'm Currently Able To Use A Photo And Digitally Map Out An Idealized Handle Design, Print A 1:1 Template, And Then Have The Resulting Union Of Haft And Head Balance Dead Horizontal Along The Main Length.

I had an engineer at a local axe handle factory tell me that nothing compares to hickory for strength and shock absorption. Each has their own place in their use, and some guys like one over another, and vice versa.
