Gentlemen - I recently purchased this Damascus bearded hatchet head: https://www.ebay.com/itm/WHITE-DEER...589361&hash=item3f94f72b77:g:Mb0AAOSwEYBaZ48p. It needs a handle. I've never hung an axe or hatchet and am looking for recommendations. I have a GB Hunters Axe https://www.gransforsbruk.com/en/product/gransfors-hunters-axe/ and am thinking that a similar handle would work well on the new head. So my questions are:

1. What's a good source for the handle?
2. What are some good videos that will walk me through the process?
3. What else should I know before getting started?

Thanks very much for your help. Best, ELN.
 
It wouldn't be hard to just shape a standard hardware store handle to fit.

Btw I hope you get lucky with this actually being good propey heathtreated steel because I'm pretty sure it's made in Pakistan.
