Small axe
« on: July 11, 2020, 07:08:08 AM »
I've made three or four of these for myself and sold everyone. I made this one and engraved my grandson's initials on it so I won't be tempted to sell it. He's only seven months old now so I'll get to use it a bit before he's ready for it.  ;D

Brian, are you making these from scratch or modifying an old head?
Can you share the dimensions?
This looks really nice.

Thanks

Neat little axe, and a good idea on the engraving.  It would be my luck that someone with the same initials would try to buy it... :o

Greg I figure I could always say it was Daniel Boones old axe since the initials are the same as my grandson's.

The axe is made from scratch Capgun. It's about six and one half inches long not sure about the cutting edge but two and one half or a bit more it likely.

I don’t know...
I think a lot a people would be interested in a copy of Daniel Boone’s ax.   ;)
(Oops. Just noticed, you already broached that subject.)

Nice,
Jeff
