craig Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Here is one a started a while ago and recently finished. Steel is from a short length of leaf spring I found in a field, so I'm guessing it's from some type of old farm machinery...handle wrap is linen twine made from flax straw a few years back I figured it's about time to put it to use Works good enough for a beater...

Steve Sells Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 cool, but then your tang is close enough to one of my designs, I am biased The flax works well with the rough hammer finish also, good choice. Is the flax wrap sealed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the flax wrap sealed? Glad you think so too :-) No, it is not sealed, I just wrapped it around, tied some knots and stuffed the tail back underneath...I know it won't last overly long, but I can always re-wrap it or try something else too.
