Picked up some Walnut, jarrah, apricot, spotted gum and red ironbark in the last couple of days and after doing a plow disk pick a little while ago thought I might give one with a wooden handle a go. This is not as easy as welding a handle on and I'm pretty green at attaching wooden handles. So here's the question, how to attach the handle? I can probably eliminate the tapered style slide through like the cheap stubby ones you can get, was thinking along the lines like the two styles of attacthing a hammer head, neat or wedges. Considered a pin driving perpendicular to the pick had through the pick shaft through the handle but worried about it splitting out in the long term. So over to the wood workers here I can fit a hammer handle with proficiency but not sure what type of setup is best on a pick .
