Australiana. There is no end - seems I was uneducated at school.
I obtained a axe handle, unused, kept in store as a replacement in the event of damage to an axe from the gardening tool CES.
Sticker on the handle clearly says "AGK Mallet Products" and "Specially Selected Timber For Tool Handles".
I googled AGK Mallets and it turns out that South-West WA has a gumtree variety named "Brown Mallet" that is excellent timber. Didn't know that -my teachers probably didn't know it either. I feel like a real city boy now.
AGK, a small business started on a farm in WA, was closed in 2006.
There are 4 photos of the maker, Arthur Hunter, dated 1974. Must be more to this story.
