Thanks.
The axe was from my grandfather, I just clean out the head and rebuild the handle, I done a short handle to easier carry it on my rucksack, but it's too short for the wheight of the axe head (650 grams). I need to do it again better

Thank you for the post, I will copy your design for my own axe now.
Where did you get the metal bit for fastening the leather strap?
