Leatherstocking Axe Handles

Strength isn’t claimed. It’s proven.
Since 1994, Leatherstocking Timber Products has milled the billets trusted by pro-level players in the game of baseball — billets split straighter, dried smarter and built to perform when it matters most. That same standard now powers our axe handles. Hand-split hickory, moisture-controlled, graded true. Tradition in one hand, the latest robotics in the other.

Fast runs or custom cuts, we deliver with the same promise: handles that don’t quit. Stronger. Faster. Better.

It’s all in the split. That’s why our axe handles are strong.

Most suppliers saw their blanks. We hand-split each billet to follow the natural grain. This prevents runout, reduces breakage, and produces a handle that’s stronger in real use. You’ll see straighter grain in every blank—proof that the blank will last once it’s shaped into a finished handle.

Hickory is the trusted wood for axe handles because of its toughness and shock absorption. It withstands repeated impact without splitting, making it the gold standard in handle production.
