Axe and Maul Handle Replacement

[Fried Chicken]

I have both an axe and a maul that need a new handle.
Screw it up and you're stuck with something mediocre for a long time, so what to look for in a good handle?

Synthetic? Wood? Hickory? Branding? Styling?

order new handles from https://www.househandle.com/
their huge catalog is fantastic, the handles I have received have been the best I have found...just try not to cry when ordering...save it for the unboxing
