For maximum tack on your grips use my tack juice. Get a bottle of ISO-alcohol, some rosin (I use violin rosin). Break up rosin and deposit in the alcohol, shake and let sit. Shake some more until you have a light amber color. Take a rag and soak in alcho-rosin solution and wipe on grip areas. Let dry and enjoy the tacky grip. Reapply when needed, results may vary.

Just use pine tree sap, but make sure the alcohol you use is ethanol, the ispropyl doesn't dissolve it worth shit.

Life pro tip, remove sap from your hands/car with ethanol/vodka.

Yep, that is what the old timers I work with do. The problem with pitch is it is to sticky so when you go to transition for a side cut your gloves are glued. The rosin gives it a tacky grip when you grab but not when there is no pressure applied. Also shaving cream works like a champ for removing pitch, My Sister makes about 300 +/- wreaths and that is her trick.

Rosin is essentially dried out sap, also useful as a flux for electronics. It's the dilute nature of it that makes the difference between tack and stick.

You might try beeswax as well, it has a really nice tack.

Good thought, I will have to try some emulsified beeswax on a hickory axe handle for testing.
