- after being asked countless times how i do the wraps on my hatchets and axes i thought it would be a good idea to make a video.Not for everyone but if you like the look and feel of a wrapped handle and one that will never loosen or slip than this one is for you

As someone who truly loves knots and takes a lot of pride in being able to tie them properly, I felt compelled to thank you for using the word "bight".
It warmed my soul and further increased the respect and admiration I have for you. Thanks for the videos man!
Great tips and how-to! Thank you! I make hand crafted walking sticks and look forward to adding these types of handle grips to some of them. Many thanks Doug!
I do something similar, and use wax for the final seal. Rub one of those emergency candles over it and heat it up between coats so it soaks in. Also works well over hockey tape (that's where I started doing it). Great grip and lasts for years
you have a way of showing how too" that is very simple and enjoyable to watch glad to see new vids from ya when they come out thank you for shareing your knowledge doug !!!
New subscriber here. Thank you for the refresher course, I learned this many years ago and had kind of forgotten about it and never did know the name of what this style of wrapping was/is actually called. Now I know. Thanks again, well done.
Awesome technique Doug. I like the idea of an epoxy soaking through the jute down to the wood.
I just got a GB Small Forest Axe and I was wanting a little more meat in the throat.
This video was perfect, thanks for taking the time to make it :-)
I forgot to come back. I did this on mine utilizing thicker hemp wrap on lower part and thin hemp on upper part near the axe head. Turned out great. thanks for posting so long ago!!
I just found this video. My uncle used this technique on hiking staffs that he made, and several other projects. He never showed me the technique he used but described it to me. This has got to be the same way he did it. He passed away years ago. I really enjoyed this and now I have several uses for it. Thanks.
Another great video. I’m finishing up a wooden mallet and wanted to whip the end with a leather wrap, just couldnt recall the little loop trick right at the beginning. Thanks for all the details. You’re right, that’s a wrap!
I still come back to this one for reference. Used the same idea for whipping on a camp-made hiking stick - still got it. Thanks Doug.
Just did a vid showing my walking stick with whipping - thanx again Doug!

This guy is awesome. I have done this on 3 hatchets I have worked on for friends and they have loved it. Super unique.
OK. I love this idea. Great. This morning I started watching more acrylic Pour videos to learn more. I do pours on large rocks from a quarry..Then I found your channel..... 5 hrs later, I think I have nearlly watched all your movies and videos lol..You and your family and friends are beautiful and awesome..To say the least eh. Cant thank you enough for sharing the most magical and awe inspiring life and crafts.Cheers from Australia bush. Hot, 42c and no rain.
I wanted to give you a special thank you for this video. I have a short handle axe that always seemed the handle was thin and I didn't really trust it. I saw this video and I tried it. Now the handle is almost perfect size and it feels so much stronger that I have trust in it now. Thank you for sharing your skill and knowledge it is greatly appreciated.
sorry guys, but i just can't seem to figure out why its not done full screen -gonna have to ask one of my kids i guess :)
Thanks so much for this video brother. Been trying to figure out how to do this on my own for a little while unsuccessfully. Ur technique worked perfectly.
I'm on the "I like that! How can I do it?" wagon. Thanks for the vid Doug...
Great video Doug! I just finished my first attempt at whipping my gransfors bruks kubben hand hatchet and it worked great. The only difference is I used fiberglass resin(it was what I had available in my garage). My small forest axe is in the mail as we speak and can't wait to whip the handle. Thanks again for the video.
P.s. all your videos are great.
Well done, start to finish. Lots of people don't pull the loop in far enough and just rely on burning the end. I pretty much do the same thing on my camp tools - especially the machete. I just bought a Cold Steel tomahawk that'll get the same treatment, but I'll very slightly relieve the wrap area so the head can still slip off over the wrap. Epoxy is a fantastic product.
NICE!! Thanks for the video! I wrapped my gaff with parachord to get a better grip and it was pretty similar to that. I then, just dunked my gaff handle in water, and now it's so tight it won't come off. No glue or anything and has been lasting years and many trips fishing.
Great How to Video, nice editing and I love the personal comments. Thanks for sharing
Never had it in my hands before, but I sure like how it looks. May have to try this sometime. Thanks for the demonstration!
+AnthemBassMan you betcha -thanks for watching
Just found your video, watched it, loved it, went out and did it myself and it worked awesome ~ thank you Doug! New subscriber here.
This was exactly what I needed to know. Thank you very much for this video. I just aquired a tomahawk hatchet and this is what I needed for my last step.
I’ve referred back to your video a few times over the past couple years, thanks for posting 👍
Thanks Doug, been wondering how to finish off a bell pull and think I just found it with that epoxy mix you used. Plus I am going to do this to my 3/4 axe. Have learnt many many things from you over the years, thank you.
Oh dude! I've been trying to figure out what my Chogan needs and this vid just made it click! I've wrapped hiking staff's before so why I never thought of this, I know not. Also, the sealing with glue I'd never seen that done. Thanks for enlightening me!
Can you still slip off the head over the wrap man?
Also a handy way to store cordage on a hiking stick. (Without the gluing part.) The wrap is pretty much the same one used to finish the ends of a rope or when making fishing flies.
Dougie-dude, that was cool. Thanks for sharing.
Great video on how to wrap a axe handle ! Looks great too ! Your buddy Joe liked your comment that's a wrap ha ha ! Thanks again Doug !
I wanna thank you I remember watching this quite some time ago but forgot to save it, in the mean time I have done this a few time thx to your vid.
Great video! Nice step by step explanation. Thanks Doug!
Best whipping video yet!
Love your DIY videos, got some free time, watching them all in a row lol :)
haha ,thanks! -must be really bored :)
How about a new text code? JKB "Jus kickin back"!
Great! I was asking my self while watching if this would be good for the upper part of the handle for protection. And yes you answered it !
Well there you go -hope it works well for you
I put a paracord wrap on mine near the head but this seems like a much better solution
Very helpful Doug! I’m going to try that on a knife handle.
I did my very first wrap using your technique on a Halloween prop...easy to do and fun! Thanks for the info.
awesome -glad it works for ya
I'll admit that I'm not a huge fan of whipping from aesthetic standpoint, but I'm definitely going to try this on my little Husqvarna hatchet. The handle is just a little too smooth for something that is only used with one hand and this could be the perfect fix.
Keep those vids coming!
+Alex Becker thx Alex
That's a wrap!! Haha you are the man!!!
Love the vids buddy keep up the good work
Beauty Doug. Just learned a thing or two. Protect your lungs brother. Happy New Year!
Love it…nice job and nice axe
great video doug ,well set out and very instructive thank you brother
Thanks -glad you liked it
Really liked the twine wrap handle. Awesome
That's a wrap, he says.
+JoeRobinetBushcraft that's what he says -btw the communities thing worked for me -spx
LOL!
:) :) :) ....
i am not sure why one would want to do this in the first place
Nicholas Polachuk ...For better grip when your hand gets sweaty or tired or in the rain, Obviously 🙄
Simple, easy to do and totally affective! Thank you
My tomahawk will be here Monday. This is the wrap it's gonna get. Thanks!
The grips on all my Japanese saws were too smooth for my taste so I used your method with jute and wrapped them but did not use epoxy. That was just after you first posted this video and my wrapped handles are still perfect. Thanks.
Burning off the jute 'fuzzies' is a nice touch. The traditional Japanese way is to crumple up some dried horsetails (Equisetum) to use as 'sandpaper' and then saturate with lacquer as 'epoxy'. If you sand the handle area, the W.ood E.poxy S.aturation T.echnique will bond with the wood fibers and the wrap will be one with the handle. Great video.
Thank you for passing on great information.
Epic stufff Doug! Love it!!!
Love it Doug keep em coming man
Cheers for the 'how to' amigo. I'm gonna have to score some cheap epoxy and set to covering up the throat(?) of my axe now.
Thanks again
Thom
+pompuswindbag glad you found it useful :)
You answered several questions and well . . . Thank You!
Your method reminds me of how west coast rod builders apply Tuna chord to the rods. Because they finish it with the epoxy or whatever it's all at the end to make it one with the rod too.
That's a cool lookin wrap!
Thx for sharing!
Cilla
glad you dig it -thx Cilla
SIDE NOTE: My hatchet handle is steel and I used a leather bind, so it took a few tries to get the correct tension at the loop so I could pull it thru and down without snapping the leather, but again, worked PERFECTLY.
that's fantastic looking.... Great job.
Amazing idea, you are a smart man
love your video. very simple and to the point
That's a rwap I'll try. Thanks for sharing Doug.
definitely giving this a try. practical and looks good. thanks for the tip.
+Zak Keating great -I hope you like it
Sweet. Thanks Doug. I am about to do this on my CRKT Woods Chogan...should make the lack of grip so much better. :)
Nice video. I have used this method to fix split handles too.
Good video. Like the last bit. That's a wrap.
I didn't know you were friends with Jiminy! Lol I love that sound!
Great... its 1053 pm and now I'm not going to bed for like 5hours while I try this and dive deep into the videos after this3🙄😂
I did something similar on an engineers and a framing hammer, but used shellac. Cheaper than epoxy and smells nice, but im sure is not nearly as durable. I guess I used cockscoaming instead of the whipping, and it came out a little wonky. The whipping is much more straightforward.
Great video, and I enjoyed the cricket.
nice work! i like the look
I just tried this on an old cheap hatchet. I put too much epoxy on there, but after sanding down, it turned out just right. Thanks.
Fantastic video. Thank you!
I used your method of wrapping to make a guard for overstrikes works pretty good looks good too. I used clear non foaming gorilla glue btw.
I do this for overstrikes as well, I just soaked mine down with boiled linseed oil when I the rest of the handle. I use paracord but I've been experimenting with other things.
wrapped my first handle doing this kind of a hybrid tommy hawk it works great
Awesome tutorial! Thank you for sharing!
gr8 job.you like your quality axes for sure.anyway greetings from ireland
Nice.-I have lost my red handled plumb hatchet somewhere and it is driving me crazy-I had it since the 1970's. There's nothing like a good hatchet. I guess someone is enjoying it!!!!!
hope so -I had an Estwing leather wrapped trim hammer since I was 12 (36yrs ago) and can't find it either
Very good and informative video!!
Thank you
Awesome video man. Thanks for sharing!
thanks Robert
Nice man, good vid. Glad you got yourself a new one ;)
+ScrambledO thx man ,glad it all worked out and gave an opportunity for a video :)
Love it! I did a Machinist hammer like this.
Thanks. Gonna try this out on one of mine to see how I like the feel of it.
hope it works for you
I like your technique very nice 🙏
Very helpful video thanks for posting 👍
That's very punny, Doug....I like it....Merry Ann from Minnesota
Very informative. I'm going to try it on an old axe at first but I'm very curious to see how it works out.
Thx doug i was thinking about asking you on this subject now i don't have to 🖒
Final seal with wood glue also works well .
You need a rimshot after the last joke. Great job. I don't know why I never thought of using tape to hold the byte. Much easier that way.
Wasn't that awful -haha thx for watchin
Giant Pinhead ..Better yet a Brandy-Shot, or 2
Very interesting and detailed.
I've done similar with fine electric fencing wire to whip just below the heads of sledgehammers and abused axes.
Duke Makedo ...Wire works great for that!
I applied that type of whip on my walking cane, works great.
Turned out Great !!! Thank You Sir. Perfect !!! Very Great Vid. ***cheers***
glad you dig it Lloyd
I will do this when I get my new axe!
Nice informative job. thanks
Great video!
I like it.... I too have large hands. In fact I wear an xlarge in most gloves. Most handles are small to mee and need some kind of wrap. I also dont like a slick handle. Thanks
Great video man I've been doing this for years he's try a few different patterns like a herringbone it's a little more difficult than your simple rap but it looks amazing
Great video, thanks for sharing...
Good stuff!
Very cool i like it
Great video! When using Gorilla super glue, do you use a brush to work it into the cord? Do you have to work faster with the super glue?
Awesome video! I would love to have a stump like that!
+Killinger thx Chris -that has got to be one of the handiest things to have in my shop -i may grab a couple more just because -but i will admit it takes everything i have to carry out an Ash piece that big
