Ax cident
Finished this ax up last night. The head is from the previous thread I posted a few days ago. Most the time I'll do a chopping check but on this one I questioned on weither I had the edge to hard so I went alittle further with the testing. Started out cutting up some old antler and the edge held up real well then chopped a 3" birch limb. On the way back to the garage I spotted a hard fire brick and decided to see how it would hold up chopping up the brick. It did so well I went for a red clay brick. Still shaving sharp, No....... But there was no chipping and thats what my concern was about. The head is 1065 with a hickory haft.

Very nice lines on that ax, as usual. Is the haft stippled? It appears to be textured? Let us see that and the pommel ring, please. It sounds like it cuts just as well as it looks. Tony
