Matthew Paul Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Ive learned a lot on each of the 10 axes that Ive forged so far, and this one has come out the best yet. It is also the first that I have cleaned up on the belt grinder, but besides the finish the lines and proportions are almost spot on to what my goal was initially. Like the others, this was forged from a 2" x 4" x 3/4" block of A36, asymmetrical wrap with a 1075 forge welded bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whirly Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Wow. Really like the shape of this axe head. Well done mate. IMO The handle leaves a bit to be desired though. A head looking that good really deserves a good looking haft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don A Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Very nice axe. I assume that handle is just a quicky test handle. If not... man, that axe deserves some fine wood in its eye. Good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
