I bought a Norland, Northwoods type axe on Ebay. It has a 25" Hickory handle. I have sharpened the axe, or at least have a good start on it. When I tested it the head became slightly loose on the handle as I was chopping. The handle seems in fairly good shape. It has a wooden wedge. I have not soaked the head in water yet, but I wondered how you go about adding a new wedge. I know that you can get metal wedges and maybe I can make a wooden wedge. I know you could just drive a metal wedge in. Is there a way to add a wood wedge with the head on? Do I try to get the head off an add a larger wooden wedge? I am afraid if i soak it, it won't be fixed, but then I won't be able to get the handle off without destroying it.
