Well, here in germany we´re using ash, robinia and sometimes maple and "Eibe". The wood grain in my handles are paralell to the blow, because the wood is in thid direction much more flexible and it prevents my hand, wrist and arm from shocks. I´ve learned this way from the dad of my old chief, alltogeter blacksmiths sice 5 generations, maybe it´s wrong, but we have had no problems in the shop. The last 5 years we´re glueing the handles with polyurethane - wonderful to work with it! Much less shocks! btw, the grain in axe handles are in line with the blow, because of more strength in removing the axehead out of the wood when it stucks. sorry for my bad and imperfect english Peter

Hello, I have removed all wedges out of my hammerhandles and now they are glued in the heads with "sikaflex 11 fc" , the same stuff that Mr.Hofi used. Must say, it works pretty well now for 5 years. when the 11 fc is hardened, the handles are rasped, sanded and burnt black with torchflame. At last a little coating with "WD .." to prevent the bad insects - wood worms - . That´s my way. Greetings from germany Peter
