I like an octagonal handle on my hammer. I bought (2) and used one of them to re-haft a Millers Falls 16 ounce #1416 rip style head. The grain direction was correct, excellent quality hickory and the shape is great. It’s slightly fuller than the “New Old Stock” Bluegrass octagonal handle I have on a favorite hammer and very comfortable. The balance it gives the old head feels perfect! Thanks Beaver Tooth for the wonderful handles you provide - You have a customer for life!
