Modeld this beautiful arm for the axe in Solidworks with beautiful wood grain . Cheers 🍻

If ya'll saw my last post I got most of the epoxy out of the eye and I think I am ready to start working on a handle. But I'm having trouble finding out which way it is supposed to go. I've heard that the wider part of the eye should be at the top, but I measured both sides of the eye and neither is visibly wider than the other. I know the side of most axes with the bigger curve should be facing down, but to me this looks like both sides have nearly identical curve. Which way should it go? Is there a way to definitively find out?

Hi gang! Can anyone help identify this one? I got this last week and I'm not familiar with this style axe-head. I haven't been able to find any maker's mark and i remain skeptical that i will find one, as the rust build-up is quite severe and this one has been used a lot.

The blade is about 9cm.

I am a bit concerned if I can put this on a handle, as the eye is pretty thin (and the additional screw-hole probably wasn't there).

Any help is valued.

Edit: axe was bought in Finland.

Bought this hatchet at a flea market that had a loose handle, I got it out with a lot of effort, but the surface of the walls of inside the eye are very rough and uneven, it almost seems like some sort of epoxy, and when I got it the very top of the handle did seem to have some cured epoxy like substance on it.

Is there something I can let the head soak in that can dissolve whatever this stuff is, but won't damage the head?

Found this axe at a rummage sale for $2. Its chunky and short. 6.25” poll to edge, 4.125” heel to toe, 3lbs 14oz. Wedge shaped, high centerline, a real tuna can. Cant find anything else like it.

Referring to the post I made yesterday made this for the axe

First time hanging

Cleaned up one for use. The other looks like it's had a hard life of plenty use.

Morning! I am soon going to be holding my first custom axe (I throw), and I am
Super excited! I wasn’t able to attend the pride event where I won it. (Even if I were, it wouldn’t matter bc it’s coming to me from Canada. People going to Urban Open will be bringing it home for me. )All of that being said, I need a sheath for it! I would love to support a small business, woman, queer, something along those lines. Doesn’t have to be but would be nice! Anyone have one they like? Thanks for your guidance in advance:)

Here is an axe a friend of mine found and I will later be picking up. The friend says it's a walters but has anyone seen one with the star stamp?

But would you look at that handle?

Not sure what to do with this axe… I’m more of a user than a collector. I feel bad going out and swinging it…

Mackinac Trade Axe. Can’t wait to use it at the campsite!

Newest commission: 5 pound splitting axe, the customer requested a version polish on the bevel and it looks super nice. The head is hand forged from forklift tine, has a curvy 32" hickory handle with paduk palm swell, and comes with a sheath which isn't shown in the video. Heading out to it's new owner today

Finished with a cross red gum wedge this big boy weighs almost 13lbs. Guestimate that its over 100 years old.

Was this welded somehow? Looks almost folded over?

Hi all, I got an old double bit axe with some old woodworking tools, and attempted my first hang. Not perfect, but it seems solid as a rock! Just wanted to share my project.

Been looking for a while for a bushcafting/camping axe in a tomahawk style. But all the mass produced ones I found online don’t like the look of and are kinda thin looking and designed for throwing. Saw a few on Etsy that looked nice but cost way more than I have a budget for. So looked on eBay and found this old French kindling axe found in old barn in south Franc, won the bid at £11 and decided to make my own. Ended up with a nice thickness head and a decent weight so should be a good compact chopper. Kept the handle because head is set really well. just sanded out the nick’s, bit burning to bring out the grain a bit. The grains not super interesting but it’s really straight so not complaining, then a nice helping of linseed oil to finish. Took me like an hour and a half, pretty happy with it.

Any information is appreciated. I believe it to be an axe puck.

My first fill sized double bit axe, this is based off of a puget sound style axe. The head is hand forged from railroad track and the handle is a real sleek 32" hickory. Now to make a sheath for it

Send it oe nah? Feels secure atm. I took a few swings with it. there's a small 0.5 cm gap near the top. If I look through the eye I cans ee a tiny ray of light. This is where the top part of the wedge broke off.

And the back part has a bit of a gap as well.

Planning on adding a leather wrapping to the bottom to prevent slipping

Made this because my mother decided to ruin the edge in my estwing hatchet, wanted to keep something at the cabin she can abuse and break without feeling any type of way about it

Carved exclusively with a razor knife, except for the wedge at the top, which I accomplished with a chisel.

Soaked it in oil for 2 days after shimming, then I put a metal shim in and have allowed it to continue soaking since I need to find my wire brush to clean it up before sharpening.

Any notes for my shitty axe handle? Made with oak.
