Stormcrow Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I got better pics of my axes back when I got better pics of my bush swords. I meant to get them put up sooner, but time has flown. 4140 steel, hickory handles. Big 'uns weigh about 20 oz., little 'uns about 16-17 oz.

bigfootnampa Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Really nice! They have very graceful lines! They appear to have nice long (sharp) bevels too! Pretty cool work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenylittlemetalguy Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 That single lug with a small beard style has been my favorite for a while and you do it very well. Have you done a hatchet version with a wrapped handle like you bush knives? I think that would look sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormcrow Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 Thanks, guys! Bigfootnampa - They were made to deal with the hardwoods we have here in Texas (not sure we have a native softwood except maybe cottonwood?) and cut well but hold up well. There's a little secondary bevel on 'em. Teenylittlemetalguy - Closest to a hatchet I've done are these short-handled ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronph Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Hi Stormcrow, do you make axes as a hobby or do you accept orders. Curious Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shimanek Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormcrow Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 Ronph - Nope, I'm a full-time blacksmith who focuses on hand tools. All of these axes are sold now, and I plan on getting another batch of 'em made as soon as I get some other work taken care of. Steve - Thank you!
