I refurbished a rail road pick and could not find a pick handle locally. I don’t recall how I chose beaver-tooth but when I finally got it, I was not disappointed. The handle is nicely finished and came with what appears to be a polyurethane finish. I have not fitted the handle to the pick yet, but the handle will nicely compliment the work I put into refurbishing the pick head. Excellent product; highly recommend. Just be patient, it did nearly a month for me to get mine, but the web site did clearly state it may take up to 30 days to ship.
