I had my best luck with a Carl Yastrzemski.

I forgot about those guys.:)

Baseball/softball isn't played in inclement weather, so lightning shouldn't be a problem.

The high schools said that the change was economic as aluninum bats never break.

The high schools here have been using alunimum bats for a long time, college too. The only ones still using wooden bats are the pros and the local single A team and the wooden bat leagues in the northeast.

I think that my bats in high school were made of white ash.

I don't want to fan any flames here but I got a hickory handle. It is really good looking too, except for where I broke part of it off getting it in the axe head.

I understand that Ash is a good wood for handles also. Something about shock absorbing capabilities.

Yeah, we have them here also. I actually know a guy that goes to them all the time. He is a collector of the old poppin motors. My next handle project (now that my saw blade has been outed as a drag saw blade) is I have an old horse drawn plow that needs handles. I think they are still...

Is Hop Horn Beam good handle wood?

I got r done. I wire wheeled it and it still looked kind of bad so I actually found a sander with some sandpaper in it and I hit it with that. It kind of shows all the imperfections in the metal now but what the hay. Battlescars right?

Mine needs to be cleaned also. I thought I would hit it with the wire wheel.

I checked it, no markings. Could it be possibly not made in China? It has some dents on the outside like it had at least some hand work done on it; however, the hole had some little ridges going with the grain of the wood to make the handle hold better. So I think that is more sophisticated...

It was so tight on there that I couldn't get the wood wedge to go in. The handle didn't come with any steel wedges so I went to town and got a couple of those and put them in. I think it could use a couple more.

Thanks Burnham and everyone else, I found a handle this morning. It's kind of tight and I chipped out a piece out of the end pounding it in there but it's on. I was worried that I had some oddball axe head that was no longer used by anyone. I took a couple of wacks at a piece of redwood that...

The gap is on the bottom or the other end of the axe head also.

You're dating yourself Al.

No, it doesn't flop around because it is so freaking tight the narrow way. I'm figuring on taking it back but I thought it should fit better than that.

Are you serious?:what:

I have a double bit axe that was in my Dad's shop and is now in my posession and as it is sans a handle I went down to the local hardware store and bought a handle for it. Well, it doesn't fit and it was the only axe handle they had. The hole in the axe is longer than the part of the handle...
