The following tips and suggestions can be used to improve the life of your handles and make throwing hawks more enjoyable:
- Coat your handle with a durable lacquer stain for long lasting durability
- Modify the length of the handle to suit your throwing preferences
- If the tomahawk head becomes too lose soak the tomahawk (both head & handle) overnight in water
- If the head is too small for the handle check the eye of the tomahawk head for any leftover burs that block the handle for seating properly
- If the head comes loose in the field, pound the top of the handle on a hard surface while the head is seated to the handle for a tighter fit
