26" Straight Octagonal Handle

1. Grain — runs straight and parallel all the way through the handle, especially through the eye/tenon 2. Runout — no grain lines that suddenly run out the side 3. Knots — none, including near the eye. 4. Cracks/checking — none, including around the kerf. 5. Tenon — the throat looks substantial and symmetrical 6. Shoulder — nice clean transition, does not look like there’s a lot of extra material 7. Wedge — confirmed, they actually sent both a small one and a large one. Thanks! 8. Finish — it’s truly dry/unfinished, as I requested. A great product!

Very nice, grain nice and straight, no run out. I have two more axes to hang and waiting for them to arrive.

Top notch handle. Just what I needed for my vintage 3/2 Plumb head that my FBI uncle brought back from SD in 1973 while assigned to the Wounded Knee Occupation.
