Here are some axes that I have made over the years. I'm hoping to make some more in the near future.

Sweet work...I especially like the little polled axe in the photo with all the powder measures. Is that handle Osage orange?  That stuff is harder than woodpecker lips.

Gorgeous, clean, artistic work.  I actually like the two darker ones best.  They look like well cared for pieces that were carried in the woods for 10 years.  Nice!   God Bless,   Marc

The handle is hickory with nitric stain. Thanks for the kind words.

Beautiful work, Brian!!

I like the third photo down best, Reminds me of the Tecumseh  blade, but without the step in the throat area.  It is a gorgeous piece!

They All are for that matter.  Very attractive to me!
Brilliant work. hat is off!
