That project turned out very well and your preserving mixture made the handle look like it had been on for years. Very clear explanations!

I hew logs on the top surface, swinging the axe in a horizontal arc. I don't make v notches, but use the axe like a big chisel and score the log on that top surface by chopping down on the log at a slight angle with the bevel down. I then hew those raised chips with the bevel up. This method of hewing a beam does not require a curved handle, and I carve handles out of riven sections of an appropriate hardwood. You can also hew from either side of the log.

That's a beautiful hewer. I really have to make some bent handles one day. My friend told me about using cardboard for steam bending. Thought that was very smart. This technique with boiling water is very simple and easy though.

Definitely the easiest method I’ve seen! How does the cardboard method work?

@@urbanlumberjack you put a hole in a cardboard box and just steam it like a wood box. It's also very simple and cheap. Much easier than making a box out of something like plywood. I've also seen just putting tinfoil over a boiling pot and sticking the handle in.

I watched a KZitem video several years ago titled Broad Axe Hanging the AUSTRALIAN Way (ft. Steve Lehmann) which was re-posted on Zach Hevner channel. It seems to cover the other approach to wedging that you mentioned in your video. You might find it interesting.

great info and video! How many inches did you make your handle? After hewing with it. was it a good fit or would you have preferred a little longer/shorter? thanks

Thank you! I’ll have to recheck on the length. Maybe 20 inches or so as I recall? It works well, I use it often. I could stand even more bend. Next one I do will be hung very open, as well as offset.
