Kelly perfect, poll was destroyed so ground it true.

Just bought a Scandinavian Forest Axe, but the head has a small crack. Is this worth sending it back and getting a new one? Thanks 👍

Hey y’all, found this axehead at a flea market in southern France. Found a makers mark on the blade today whilst leaning it with a wire wheel.
Hoping that anyone can ID it.

I have this axe see pictures. My dad found it at a garage sale so I tried to polish a bit remove what was left of the red paint. It has a mark of c24 on the side and that’s it. This is not the shape it was when I found it. I customized it but couldn’t really find anything with c24. Any help would be great. A guy at a local leather motorcycle shop made me the sheath and charged me nothing. I thought that was incredible.

I’m just finishing my first axe handle, made from an old black locust log I had lying around.

The wood had a few cracks, but I decided to keep going. Unfortunately, there’s still a small crack right next to the axe head.

Is there any way to fix this, or should I scrap the handle and start over?

I’m in New Zealand and there’s a couple of axes around selling for around 20 to 30 nzd i know nothing about axes but they seem good quality should I buy them and try to rehandle and resale at 60 to 80 dollars cleaned up?

Near mint antique store find plumb boys/house axe 2.32 #. Well taken care of in its earlier life. Just a bit of surface rust will clean up nicely. No poll damage and a nice full bit.
Question:
Should I hang on 24” house/ pack handle already in my handle inventory or wait on a nice boys handle when I can find one?
Your comments and suggestions are always welcome here.

Found this boys axe head, it has bevels I haven't seen before and a stamp I haven't seen before. Bought a 28" New England style boys axe handle, white ash, #1 grade from TD Handles and man, this handle is as good as it gets in regard to grain orientation and runout. Just look at that end-to-end grain. Wedged with black walnut. Swings nice, well balanced.

Any advice on what I need to do to fix it up? The handle is looking dry and needs oil but I’m more concerned about the head.

Thanks in advance!

A local axe collector commissioned me to sharped and hang a custom handle on the hewing hatchet, this one is a company in little falls New York, where I lived for a couple years, so I was honored to give this gorgeous hatchet a makeover

So… Yesterday, I bought this for 15$ at an antique mall and got to work on cleaning it up, I got the rust off after leaving it sitting in vinegar for 12 hours, neutralized the acid with water + baking soda and wiped it down with some WD40. everything’s been going fine…

But… now I’ve hit a bit of a roadblock, sharpening the head. When I bought this, it was a complete blunt edge, and I’m having trouble getting it symmetrical and correctly angled. I’ve been using some cheap Home Depot Bastard file, but I feel like I’m gonna fuck something up and badly, and now I’ve started to suspect that the blade and tool itself is warped…

I thought y’all might have some actual know-how on this kind of thing, so just throw some tips at me.

Ollies got these in the axe is 22.99 and the hatchet is 16.99

I just got my hands on a 1940ish Plumb BSA axe head. I’m looking to refurbish it to its original look. Does anyone know of a template of the lettering that was on the handle (“official scout axe”)?

I came across an axe head in my grandfather's shed and I need help identifying the makers marks. I am trying to decide if I should restore the axe and use it, or not. I want to make its not a collectors item because I dont want to ruin its value by restoring it.

I cant read the stamps on the head so I made a stencil. The only stamp I can read says "-> 42" and its on the back of the head. Can anybody identify the other marking and tell me what the marks mean?

This one is worth nothing - cheap chinese one, just made it to involve my son into making something useful :)

Handle was in pretty good condition. Is this price fair?

6 ridges in the eye of this Woodslasher. I put it on a 28” white oak handle of my own design

I understand its an old 3.5lb double bit homestead axe, (60's maybe?) But I was wondering if anyone had any more solid information on it regarding its exact year, its advantage over a regular axe head, is the handle original? Im open to any kind of info on it, thanks!

Bit still needs re worked but I wanted to hang it today. Got it for free and had no idea what it was until I started sanding it. Such a fun splitter.
