Bringing an Axe back to life

Looking great (both the axe and the very lush lawn)!

 

Good fitting you did with that handle.

 

Thanks gentlemen. I'm currently looking for an old Plumb single bit now. Hoping to find a nice Dayton or Michigan pattern that's not heavily worn.

A new Council will likely find its way to me before long also. I have caught a slight case of AAD.

 

You're about 6 weeks or so ahead of us here. Darn it, why did my &^%$ grandfather decide Canada was a great place to immigrate to.

 

We woke up to low 20's this morning, so it's not over just yet. We have been in "spring" since late January this year. Currently, the weather is messing up our Morrel hunting season!

 

Heard it was below zero in Vermont this AM!!!

 

These two were brought back to use. Sand-blasted off the rust, new hickory handles, then sharpened. The single-bit gets really sharp.

 

good job!
