While we are at it, I may ask you guys another question.
Hope you don't mind.

The other day, my son and I were working in the garden, and the shovel handle broke at the connection point. I bought two other shovels, but kept thinking about the broken one. metal part is almost new but the wooden handle is broken. My question is that if I cannot find a replacement handle in the market, what is the best way to improvise ? Should I smoothen the broken handle and utilize what is left of it ?? Or should I buy a 2x2 piece of wood and improvise it as a handle ?

I will keep looking for a replacement handle in our local market, but it doesn't look promising.
