What the video and if you have any questions continue on with the rest of the instructable.
Design

Trace an old axe handle or freehand your own design.
Cut

Cut out your handles rough shape. I prefer to use the bandsaw but you could probably use a jigsaw or handsaw.
Shape


Shape your handle with a drawknife and small spoke shave. Use your Drawknife to remove the bulk of the material.
Attach Your Blade



Cut a groove in the head for the blade to slide into. My blade was roughly 1/8 wide. Drill two holes in your handle that match the holes in the blade. Bolt the blade through the holes and you are all set.
DONE

Stick a fork in it because it's done.
