I've been re-profiling and carving handles for axes, hatchets, and tools for years. This is fantastic work.  Nice job!

Sorry Matt  :)

I did some finish shaping and smoothed it out.  It's ready for sanding.  I cut the tongue down, rounded it over a little, and made a center cut 2/3 of the length.  I cut a wedge from a piece of walnut.  I'm going to sand it after lunch and then mount the head on it.

Sanded to 600 grit and burnished with paper towels.

I drove the wedge in as far as I could.  I gave it a few more wacks and it broke off flush.  The head feels solid.  I hope it holds.  I'll post some finished pictures when I'm done putting the tung oil on it.
