249626 Larry Holland <menlofarm@m...> 2014‑08‑01 Mount fiberglass handle
Galoots,

While visiting one of my woodworking buddies this morning, he brought out a
number of edge tools that need to be re-handled.  A sledgehammer, 2 splitting
mauls, a double bitted axe head and couple hammers.  I do a lot of that kind of
work, and enjoy it.  But, he also gave me a fiberglass handle that he wants me
to put on one of the splitting mauls.  I’ve never done fiberglass handles, and
don’t have a clue.

My initial idea was to cut a kerf down the center, then treat it just like a
wood handle, but have decided to err on the side of caution and submit it to the
wisdom of the group.

Any help greatly appreciated
