Tried everthing and spent ages on the internet and still nothing. My old chopper needs good wood and frankly all I can manage is soft. The thought of spending hours rubbing a soft shaft regardless of the attention to detail involved is not going to make it hard.
I've been after a length of Ash to make two axe handles having been talked into giving it a go at the last Bushcraft meet. I know there is an old caveman trick of turning most wood into ash but it's not the same thing.
It appears the local wood turner in my area has over night bought up Warwickshire's stock pile of Ash and he is busy whittling it in order to fill an untapped market crying out for Rocking Horse Sh.t.
Anyway as an alternative to Ash is there any other wood more readily available I can use to make 2 small hatchet handles.
Please don't suggest Hickery as this has been sold previously to the as forementioned Wood Turner to supply the local donkey sanctuary with dentures....Apparently.
Thank you.
