antigoth24 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I just finished up the second in my line of "Wilderness Axes" this one being a pack axe hence the name. This is a fun little axe and it was a fun project to make. Axes really do have their simple pleasures and they are fast to make too! In any case this axe was wrapped and welded with a 1084 bit to a mild steel body. The head measures 7 inches long with a 4 inch cutting edge. The handle is hickory and measures 19 inches long at 1.5 pounds. Unfortunately it started to rain before I was able to get any pictures of the axe with its sheath. Let me know what you think! Thanks for looking. Robert Burns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Hammer Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 That is a lifetime tool for sure. I know when I use a small hatchet my friend made for me, I always think about watching the process start to finish and the pleasure knowing it was hand made here in the good ole USA made by a craftsman for a craftsman. Keep up the beautiful work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
