>>1334614Though I did use hickory since Im no expert woodsman and only thing I need to do with an axe is to split firewood. The hickory handle seems really long but since the axe weighs alot its actually fine. Had to carve out the handle a lot, wierd design for the hole imo, american seems a lot more durable. Also removed rust and did a light brush on it. Need to oil the handle after removing the varnish and sanding.
