Spade handle

PoorFarmer · 2022-03-16 19:03:47

Anybody know where I could get a handle for an old type ridging spade or loy? Woodworm has taken the good out of mine at this stage and I'd love to be able to get a replacement. North Cork/West Limerick/North Kerry area would be preferable For those of you not up to date on torture implements this is what I'm talking about

You could have a go at making yourself ... i seen a guy making a few years ago... you need a piece of really well seasoned ash and carefully remove old handle and use as a template for shape...

I’ve seen Woodies in Cork selling wood handles few weeks ago.
