Default Tomahawk in the Cold - Observations

Yesterday I was out delimbing some branches and I noticed some play (up-down movement) in the head of the tomahawk (wooden handle). But when I got home there wasn't any.

Heat and Humidity(or the lack of) both effect wooden handles. When ya Head gets loose. Hold ya axe, hatchet, hammer, etc head down and tap the end of the handle with something. Don't get carried away though or you will drive the head too far up the handle a couple sharp taps will tighten it up just fine.
