    Hafted these two, sanded down the handles, added a couple coats of boiled linseed oil, then wrapped the neck with paracord.

    Will be given to my youngest grandson and his friend this afternoon when we go to Starkey Wilderness Park!

    Nice job TripleF! Feel free to add them to the restoration thread. Have fun and you'll build some memories for the boys.

    They both loved 'em!! They use axes when they're with me at the State Park so they are familiar with proper handling
    and use but thought it was time for their own!!!
