Modded my Husqvarna forest axe and Gransfors Bruks American felling axe. Torched the handles, oiled, then whip wrapped overstrike collars. I made the collar on the husqvarna larger to aid in choking up on the axe for different grips. One picture with flash, one without.
I started a mask for a Cold Steel Norse Hawk, I’ll post pics later every time I work in it I leave my phone inside.
There are pics of this in the today’s carry thread, but wanted to post a couple here as well. Knife on right, five posts back.
Built this (except for the lashing rings) simply because I refused to pay 450 dollars for a commercial one.
Agreed. At least from a consumer standpoint on my part. Olive wood just looks inviting. Has the appearance of being smooth as silk.
