wooden handle

Carved timber grip

A wooden handle is the part of a tool or implement that you grip, made from wood.

Axes, hammers, brooms, and kitchen knives commonly have wooden handles, valued for durability, comfortable grip, and resistance to conducting heat or electricity.

The wooden handle of the old axe had cracked from years of use.
