[QUOTE="lmalterna, post: 1975639, member: 28055"] True that wooden handles can dry and shrink but please do not soak in water. Instead use something like linseed oil and thin with acetone or a flo additive for oil based paints.... it will soak in the end grain and seal the handle... I also use binding tape on my splitting maul handle just below the head. Prevents splinters from gouging the handle over time. For hollow handle tools, I fill with Great Stuff expanding foam to deaden vibrations a little. 2Door [/QUOTE]
