Axchet

[Raymond Richard]

To come up with a name like axchet I must be pretty tired. This is the first one from the two heads I forged a few days ago. The head is 5 1/2", 2 1/2" at the pole, and 3" cutting edges. The haft is dyed maple with a wrought iron cap and ring nut. The haft is around 16".

Its done with a rotary tool and a burr. Just light random tapping.
