Allan,
You probably have already put the handle on by now, but let me emphasize some points. The ax head has the hole tapered. The small end must be put on first, then when driven to depth the wedge is used to spread the split handle at the wider end so it will resist flying off better.
Daddy would do the final smoothing of the handle with a piece of broken glass. Being impatient I often use an ordinary rock grinder. The best thing to quickly trim the ax handle is a stationary 6 inch belt sander.
One of the web pages listed advised against using epoxy glue, which I agree with, since it would be quite difficult to remove the handle when replacing it again. However, I have use Gorilla glue in the old handle on a pitch fork and a hoe when they became loose. If I have to replace them again I guess I'll have to use the side grinder.
