Gränsfors Bruk 31" Straight Felling Axe Handle

I bought this handle to put my grandpas old axe head on. I put it on an old lion brand axe head. It’s fit with minimal work. Axe handle grain orientation was perfect. Grain was nice and tight. Super high quality axe handle for a few dollars more that a cheap handle from Rona or Home Depot (and the Gransfors handle came with a wood and a metal wedge!). I will definitely be buying more Gransfors handles for any future axe re-handling work.

Thought it was for a splitting axe , no big deal, it’ll find a good home soon enough. I need to read the product info before buying, look forward to having a head on it, new or used !!

Good quality wood, good grain orientation. However it is far too thick all over, lack of palm swell at the end makes prolonged use a bit tiring. Needed quite a bit of work to get it to the right thickness for me. Overall decent quality but would probably buy the curved version next time.
