I have an old mattock that we found in an abandoned Canadian mining camp in 1976. The handle finally cracked under heavy use so I purchased a replacement hickory handle from Beaver Tooth. The handle was a perfect fit with a nice smooth finish. I put two raw linseed oil/turpentine treatments on the handle and put it to work. I am very happy with my purchase.

Just what I wanted
I inherited a cutting mattock that my father and I had used together when I was in high school and that he first got before I was born. The handle was shot but the head was good and I couldn't stand the idea of putting a fiberglass handle in this classic tool. This handle is exactly what I needed, arrived in perfect condition, and feels like excellent quality.

I put this beautiful handle into a 5# Grub Hoe/Axe head. The head is from my grandfather's farm and I found it in his hand made tool chest. I do not know if it was his or if it belonged to another relative from his generation. I shaped the handle to fit head with a tight and uniform fit allowing 1 inch to extend above it. I have not used to tool and do not know if I will, but it is ready to work.
