Tapered Axe Handle Dowel Wedges

  • $10.50

Are you looking for an alternative to the traditional steel barrel wedges?

 

These hard maple conical wedges are just the thing for getting that extra little bit of grip when dealing with a loose axe head, or even just ensuring it stays tight in the first place when re-hanging a head!

 

Simply pre-bore a 3/8" hole in the top of the offending handle to your desired depth, and then drive the wedge home to exert spreading force in all directions. For an extra firm hold, a dab of wood glue can be put in the bottom of the hole before inserting the wedge. Makes drilling out the eye of an axe to replace a broken handle much easier than dealing with stubborn steel wedges!

Pack of 10 wedges. Made right here in the USA!

Small End Diameter: 3/8"

Large End Diameter: 5/8"

Length: 1-1/2"

Awesome old school method for making a more secure hang

I have always liked metal barrel wedges, but these are really awesome. I have seen these in old handles but I haven't seen anyone making them these days. Brandon and his team have hit one out of the park again with bringing back a part of axe and tool history. These work great and look just as cool if not cooler than a barrel wedge.

Tampered wood wedges

These things are great and much nicer looking than the traditional metal ones. Really adds a nice finishing touch to your handle

Spread wood good

Tried these on a couple axes and they spread wood really good for a tight fit to the head. Better than any metal wedge

Perfect solution

Had Barebones Brand Pulaski Axe and wanted longer / better balanced handle. Axe head only has small hole for Allen wrench key to **** on threaded rod through handle connected to butt cap. No traditional wedge will fit well through 1/2” opening. 3/8” tapered dowel was perfect! Video instruction were spot on. Would give 10 stars if possible.
