Hey Max, older Smith here, not too bad of a handle there. If I may, I have a few tips for you when it comes to making handles. Firstly, good catch with the safety glasses however remember to put your angle grinder down with the wheel facing towards the ceiling. There is less risk of the grinder tearing something up if turned on, oh and put on a guard for that thing lol. Secondly, I would recommend using some harder woods like hickory, ash, or oak for your handles, they absorb shock and wear much better than softer woods. Thirdly, make sure the wood grain is parallel with the axehead, much less risk of it snapping in half. Also, if you can, acquire some sandpaper, such as 120 and 220 grit, as it will put a much softer and finer finish on your handle. Don't go too happy with the paper though, as it will prevent things such as linseed oil to penetrate into the wood as effectively. Using oil gives the wood much more longevity and smells nice lol. Lastly, instead of a metal wedge, I would recommend using a wood wedge like a roof shim that is softer than the base wood and use wood glue to fasten it tight. There is always more to learn but I won't take too much of your time. Good luck on your craftsmanship journey Max, it takes time, but you will get there.
