Hint for stemming
The hoe must be assembled on site. The handle is conical. The head is simply slipped on and hammered tightly. To do this, hit the handle with the attached head several times in a vertical movement (from top to bottom), e.g. on a wooden beam or squared timber. Due to the negative acceleration when the handle head hits the squared timber, the head of the hoe “slides” stably onto the thickened handle head and closes positively. To stabilize the compound you can still water it. This swells the wood and stabilizes the connection between the head and the stem.

Care instructions
Dry off after use. Storage in dry and unheated rooms, barns or garden sheds. When stored in heated rooms, the stem dries out and loses elasticity. The stem can then break more easily than with proper storage. If necessary, treat the handle with a wood oil or simply linseed oil.
