A new handle

My Whitehouse Kent pattern axe handle came loose recently so I rehandled it the other day, the handle is out of Hickory with an Oak wedge, its a bought handle and for what it cost its not too bad at all.



Its a shame as the handle that was on it had a lovely patina, hopefully in years to come the new handle will take on a patina of its own.



I also knocked up a few Gypsy flowers for Elizabeth to put in the garden.





They were made from split Willow, Elizabeth wanted to have a bash at splitting which was funny as she could only just hold the mallet.



Still she gave it her best!.
