#doublebitaxe

This is one of the coolest projects I’ve had the chance to work on! I’ve designed artwork for plenty of axe blades, but never a double bit axe and never with an Irish/Celtic mythology theme. The artwork depicts characters from the Cu Chulainn mythology. You’ll see on the blade on the left Cu Chulainn/Setanta and on the right blade is the hound of Chulainn. They are charging at each other creating some dynamic artwork on the blades while also telling a story. These blades were forged by @adkinswoodandknife and the laser engraving of the artwork was done by @valkyriearms74 This axe will be on display at @blade_show It was a privilege to contribute to this project and work with others with such skills and talent! ➖ #celtichammerclub #celt #celtic #irish #irishmythology #cuchullain #axe #doublebitaxe #forged #handforged #bladesmith #smith #blacksmith #bladeshow https://www.instagram.com/p/CeYi2gMLYJE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This massive root needed to be removed and my recip saw is at work. I didn’t feel comfortable running my chainsaw into the dirt 😳 This antique double bit axe cut through this root with ease, in less time that it would have taken me to run an extension cord if I did have my saw and gave me enough control that the axe never hit the dirt. #antiquetools #antiqueaxe #vintageaxe #doublebitaxe #axe #besttoolforthejob #yardmaintenance (at Middle Sackville, Nova Scotia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce_0wgFu-4R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Two double bit axes rehung on Amish-made hickory handles. Both heads are Michigan patterns. The 3.5lb is on a 32” handle and the 3lb head is on a 24” handle. The one on the short handle is my oldest and favorite double bit. It is now a “saddle axe” and fits nicely in the Jeep and the van, both for far flung adventures! #axe #michiganpatternaxe #doublebitaxe #newhandles #afterworkwork #notalumberjack #americanhickory #amishmade (at West Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV6w9x6JHRi/?utm_medium=tumblr
