Hi all,
Got this bronze axe head from a bronze working demo a while back, any thoughts about how to attach it to a handle (the other axe is GB SFA for size comparison)?

I was thinking of making a hatchet with it, I got this piece of ivy it definately looks like theres a handle in it somewhere. Obviously I intend to cut it down a bit, is ivy a suitable wood for this purpose?
