re-ren, the axe's haft in your post is not Bronze Age. As noted in the video I posted, wood doesn't survive from that old. Except now some has... at Must Farm.
See below for a better 'reconstruction' — and some just found in an English bog* where the wood actually WAS preserved along with a bunch of (20) socketed axe heads. They attached the head to a branch off the main tree trunk along with a trimmed section of the trunk which formed a bent elbow.
They also found a bunch of other stuff, tools, swords, etc. in remarkable condition. Just a bit of mud keeping them from looking new.
Top: reconstruction
Middle: found haft — they found a bunch just like this.
Bottom: Axe heads.
Edited: Added one they found with an intact haft
*- Must Farm, UK dig.
