I suppose some of the problem with modern shovel, hoe, rake etc wooden handles is the type of wood. I picked up a concrete hoe I bought last year and was miffed that it was so cracked up I doubt even treating it with something now will make it last much longer. I'll admit some times my stuff gets left out in the sun and rain. It seems that I've bought some tools at garage sales that the older they are the better they are compared to some of the junk they peddle today. What's your experience been? Any tips you can share? Thanks in advance.
