I've been looking, Chris, can't find a pic.   I assume it was similar to other adze hafts, a dog-leg on the end of a stick for a platform with cordage over the thin part of the tool.  or it could have  been a "T" handle so they could use both ends.... Undecided Huh

I like your T handle thought Tom though I've never seen one hafted in that fashion. Are yours used on both edges? Looks like they would do the job.

Yeah, both ends of the white one are worked and have been resharpened Wink  I'll bet is worked both ways. The dark one's business end is the big end, the smaller end may have been the business end first, though it's bevel looks more like an axe on the small end.
