I got 3 handles from whiskey river that all had perfect grain orientation and am very happy with everything about my order and the handles

Council Tool Leather Utility Mask - Large

These are excellent handles . I ordered two and I will order a couple more . The finish of the wood is very smooth and the grain orientation is good too.
Another winner from Whiskey River !! Thank you!
Jacks axe and tools .

Great, glad to have it until I upgrade to leather sheath. Did a double bit and boys axe with one foot.

As a total newbie to hanging axe heads, I had some pretty basic questions about wedges. Brandon was kind enough to respond persoannlly and give me all kinds of great advice. The products are great, the people are great, and I’m already a faithful Whiskey River Art and Trading customer!

Amazing quality as always from WR Trading. My handle showed up in 2 days and looked flawless. It took minimal shaping with a simple plane rasp to get the eye to fit in a double bit I had laying around. And now the axe I didn't plan on using has been turned into an awesome looking camp hatchet/conversation piece/intimidating home defense system! 😂

Worked out great!

Top notch handle and the NEC is my favorite pattern. Great job Whiskey River

I was on the East coast when these dropped and by the time I got back to WA they were delivered. I’m really stunned by their appearance. Almost worried I’ll mess em up as I still think I’m a novice. But my buddy will love the 28” white oak and my late uncle’s FSS Pulaski will finally get done

Great wedges

Haven’t had a opportunity to hang em yet but very nice grain orientation. So as for now they’re climatizing, thank you 😊

The handle is premo! Perfect grain orientation. Been looking for an oak handle for awhile now and finally found one. Great Work!

Nice handle. Straight grain. The only thing that would make it better is if it came with a wedge.

Awesome premium grade handle, no defects, no knots and straight. will buy from again. Thank you

Real nice straight grain.properly oriented.Plenty of meat at the eye to fit any old axe.Really handy controllable and ergonomic shape.
