I re-handled a few of my tanged chisels last year. I chose Walnut, partially, b/c I don't really like beech and I wanted to use a local wood. Ii also chose this style of handle, because I like the way that felt in my odd shaped hands. Well. It didn't go well a few of them cracked. I re-handled a couple of them in dogwood and they cracked. I am starting to wonder if I am doing something wrong or that he tang on the chisels justa ren't right for this type of handle. Suggestions?
