- Hickory is a natural shock absorber along with excellent fiber strength for tool handles. Our handles are turned to fit the grip of the user's hands thus giving extra comfort and better control of the tool.
- Since, hickory is a natural product, traditionally; handles have fallen into different grades according to density, freedom from defects, color and grain structure.
- Hickory logs which produce the best handles are selected for their heavy weight and straight grain.
- The color of the wood does not affect the strength or quality of the hickory handle. The U.S. Forest Products Lab has found no difference in white or red hickory's strength. Therefore, the best hickory handles may be white, red or a mix of both red and white.
- All the handles are sorted and selected for freedom of defects and the job the handle is designed to perform.
- Sledge, axe, railroad pick, garden mattock, nail hammer and blacksmith are among the handles manufactured.
- Some specialty items include spike maul handles, hickory mallet hammers, adze handles and file handles.
- Product line is sold under the names Tennessee Hickory Handle, Fleischmann Handle, and Marion Handle Mills.
- Hickory blanks and dimension are manufactured and sold by Charles O. Cox Corporation.
- Ash tool handles for lawn and garden, contractor and agriculture are also available to complete the line of tool replacement handles.
