FAQs
What standards does this ash handle meet?
This Faithfull ash handle is manufactured to BS3823 BW/BR standards, which control density, moisture content, grain twist, and finish for quality assurance.
What is the length of the handle?
The handle measures 700mm (28 inches) in length.
Is this a complete shovel or just a replacement handle?
This is a replacement handle only. It is designed to be fitted to an existing ash shovel head.
What type of grip does the handle have?
The handle features a wooden 'T' shaped grip for comfortable and secure handling.
What is the benefit of the bent profile?
The bent profile is designed to offer improved ergonomics and leverage during use, potentially reducing user fatigue.
How should I care for the ash handle?
Keep the handle clean and dry. Periodically inspect it and consider applying a wood oil or varnish to protect the wood, especially if stored in damp conditions.
Can this handle be used with any shovel head?
It is designed as a replacement for ash shovels, and its tapered end is intended for standard shovel head fittings. It's recommended to check dimensions for compatibility with your specific shovel head.
Troubleshooting
Handle does not fit shovel head securely.
Ensure the tapered end of the handle is the correct size for the shovel head socket. Minor adjustments to the socket or handle taper may be needed for a snug fit. Use appropriate fasteners to secure the connection.
Wood feels rough or splintered.
Lightly sand the affected area with fine-grit sandpaper. Apply a wood sealant or oil to smooth the surface and protect the wood.
Handle shows signs of warping.
Store the handle in a dry environment away from extreme temperatures or humidity. If warping is significant, replacement may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This product is a replacement handle and requires fitting to a compatible ash shovel head. Ensure the tapered end of the handle fits snugly into the socket of the shovel head. Securely fasten the handle to the head using appropriate methods such as rivets, screws, or epoxy, depending on the shovel head's design.
Compatibility: Designed as a replacement for ash shovels. The 700mm (28 in) length and tapered end are standard for many shovel designs, but always verify the dimensions and fitting type match your existing shovel head.
