I wonder who owned this old garden tool?
Who carefully carved their initials into the wooden handle?
I know how attached I get to certain garden tools.
Perhaps I should leave my initials on my tools for some future gardener to wonder.

I love the idea of you leaving a little brand that reminds someone of who loved the garden tool first! 🙂
I love old stuff like this. I have my great-grandfather’s spade that he made himself- he was a blacksmith and a keen gardener. You should definitely carve your initials on there too, start a tradition 🙂
I agree. Carve your initials. You leave a legacy, a story, a sense of wonder by doing so.
