Splitting Maul Handle

[BaldSawRunner]

I have done this with the broken glass. Just make sure the piece is large enough to handle. I like using broken jar pieces...they seem to contour to the roundness of the handle eye a tad better than window glass. Plus, it was handy

I 'bare hand' it. I use shards that are big enough to hold safely. The 'shaving' process is not a quick job. Good for sitting under a tree with a brew. I can usually do one handle on at most two brews depending on how hot it is. Never measured them but a eyeball guesimate is on the order of 1 thousandths per shaving.

I was around 6 yoa when the hired hand showed me how while fitting a handle to a carpenters hammer.

Now Harry's telling me to sit under a tree drinking beer with a shard of glass in one hand.

one problem;

That would be a felony for me.

but I'll try it.

Just be sure to keep track of which hand has which in it
