Curved / fawns foot hatchet handles

[Hickory n steel]

Let's share and discuss well shaped curved / fawns foot hatchet handles, from vintage originals or premium contemporary handles to hand carved handles.
Let's even see chunky hardware store handles and the nice shape hiding inside them.
I have the same standards for shape in a hatchet handle that I do for an axe handle.

Here's a late 2 ridge TT woodslasher.



It's shaped right and feels okay but it's chunkier than I'd like, I just live with it and use it as is.

here is one of my Vaughan mini's that I tuned up because they definitely need some help from the factory.
I pulled and refined the handle, and I consider it to be an absolutely perfect hatchet handle.

I got the thickness, the curve, the close of the hang, and the fawns foot taper just right.

I just couldn't really hit that magic again though, this other one just didn't come out just right.

I actually did a pair back when I did #1 and it came out about as good but I gave that one to my buddy.

This was a V&B handle from the hardware store that I recently reworked, it didn't come out right.

As a factory handle I probably wouldn't complain, but I didn't take the right amount of wood off in just the right places.
the neck should extend longer before transitioning into the curved grip area.
