maybe burn out the wood
I echo this and I have done this in the past with builder’s spades by drilling the wood out that’s stuck in the metal head and buying a replacement handle. Takes time but with a good fork head that’s 50 years old it would be a shame to throw it out and you will get satisfaction from saving it. Different tool but last year I repaired a 70 year old 5 feet long wooden pruner which is working fine and has my late grandfather’s name scratched into the wood by him.@IsleOfMan - instead of burning it out, maybe drill it out, assuming you have a drill / drill bits etc. Once the wood is broken up from within the head, the wood should come out easily. Sorry, I don't have a recommendation of where to go though.
I've done such in the past for spades and other garden tools, not much to it once you get going.
