Pack of tapered hard maple dowel wedges for securing axe handles

Hold fast

Quiet, pale maple standing by to keep the head where the work happens.

Shop-made certainty

A small fix that keeps the day moving

Wood holds wood

A loose axe head interrupts the rhythm—each swing second-guessed, each task delayed. Tapered Axe Handle Dowel Wedges return confidence with a simple, wooden answer that seats clean and stays put. Ten pieces mean the next repair is already on hand, whether at the bench or by the woodpile.

Tight again

Hard maple expands gently inside a pre-bored hole, spreading the haft and locking the head without the fuss of steel. The form is quiet and direct: 1-1/2 inches long, tapering from 3/8 to 5/8, made in the USA. When the tool feels whole, the work follows.

For keepers of good tools

Someone who rehangs and maintains wooden-handled axes, favoring a clean, dependable wooden wedge over metal.

In the handle, not the drawer

Pre-bore a 3/8 inch hole at the top of the handle and drive in the wedge—add a touch of wood glue if you like—to snug a loose head or finish a rehang.
