Good source for hickory axe handles

I have a couple of 28" and 36" axe handles that I need to replace. All of the handles I have seen locally in Denver are ash and need major refinishing work after they are hung.

Can anyone recommend a source of quality hickory handles on the Internet? I'd like someone who doesn't try and pass off a handle with heartwood or with grain at a decent angle as "quality".
 
I ordered a couple handles from househandle.com a few months back. It's a couple extra bucks for the "top quality" handles but both of mine came with quite good grain. The finish isn't great, but it doesn't take much to sand them smooth then refinish with some linseed oil.
