Hand forged belt axe
« on: October 23, 2022, 01:23:21 PM »
Just finished up this rifleman's axe. Head forged from 4140HC. AAA+ grade curly Maple for the haft. Mild patina added for that period tool appearance.

Looks fantastic Bart.
Nothing beats the feel of a handmade southern iron mounted flintlock on a cold frosty morning
