Rusty old Kent pattern hatchet head , kindly donated by my neighbor to restore to its former glory  .

Halfway done and... daaaaaammmnnn. Now I gotta figure out if I can do “captured” pins so I can keep this look! #axerestoration #patternedplywood #oldtools (at Hopewell Junction, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CORSpJHhMUF/?igshid=g81dxs87z8fj

A quick mockup for the handle of this BSA hatchet restoration. I’m gonna incorporate vintage saw hardware, Baltic birch, and multiple hardwoods for this one! #axerestoration #hatchet #vintagetoolrestoration (at Hopewell Junction, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/COJknr7B9gJ/?igshid=1nomaj5l6aboi

Faut bien s'douter que si j'aime les cartes, j'aime aussi les haches! Non? Épée, hache, bouclier, armure, ... C'est juste trop bien! Du coup j'ai récupéré une vieille hache pour 5€, j'ai beaucoup, BEAUCOUP frotté et j'ai mis de la pâte à bois. Puis comme le débutant que je suis, j'ai caché la pâte à bois avec le drap dégueu que j'utilisais pour enlever la rouille et le vinaigre. Ça donne un aspect bien crade au manche : PARFAIT! J'ai récupéré du cuir sur un vieux canapé, j'vais sûrement faire un fourreau ... Peut-être ... En tout cas, faut rien gâcher 😌 rien ne se perd, tout ... sert à faire des haches! C'est pas ça? #weapon #axe #restoration #medieval #axerestoration #medievalweapons #medievalaxe #viking #vikingaxe https://www.instagram.com/p/CEJx3dUq3Fe/?igshid=ov4aymxc2s49

I got these two axe heads recently. Two no name axes but I really like the single bit axe. It has such a thick eye (2nd pic) 😉 Could be a good wood splitting axe 🪓 💪☘️ #axe #axerestoration #axerestorations #splittingwood #choppingwood #doublebitaxe #doublebit #singlebitaxe #splittingmaul #firewood #vintageaxe #oldaxe #vintagetools #vintagetoolsbainbridgeisland #oldschool #rightonwithjoncrane #joncranemillwright #hatchet (at Bainbridge Island, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ldloJAEPF/?igshid=267qiz4ob6n8
