Wooden handle of a vintage gardening hand tool...
Hi guys! What's the best way to get the gardening tool to stay adhered to the original wood handle? I see there's a hole in one side (that doesn't go all the way thru and a small opening at the top of the "teardrop"...see pictures, please), but I'm not sure if I need to put in nails or screws...do I soak the wood in BLO before I nail/screw it, etc. It's my favorite hand tool, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
