RE: Chisel Handle Material Selection Help - Bibliophile 13 - 02-05-2018 I'm going to have to use that index-card idea next time I make some chisel handles. I love you guys! Anyhow, any of the species you mention will make excellent chisel handles. HOWEVER, green wood will shrink and distort a bit--and when green wood distorts, handles come loose. So I would go with the driest wood available.

I have some nice birds eye Maple (Hard) as well as some green hickory or green hornbeam.......................... I always use JB Weld to make sure it never falls out...That's more important to me than the type of hardwood I use. |
