Howdy all!
Long time lurker. I just recently cleaned and rehung my first axe. Found a True Temper Kelly Perfect 3.5lb Michigan pattern head with bevels. Hung her on a 36" hickory handle from House Handles and coated in BLO. The ridges in the eye were a bear, but the head is on good and tight. She swings and fells like a charm.

One I finished the other day.
Started life like this..
After some tinkering.
I really like how that turned out.
Was this something you made yourself or did you mod an existing hatchet?
Hey, it was an old take down dry wall/carpenters hatchet I got for the price of a packet of cig's. It had black paint on it originally, so I had to grind that off then leave it in the rain (not hard in England lol) for a few weeks to rust up to get that old look. Then I reground the edge and gave it a polish and cleaned up the handle.

Just hung a handle on this plum today. 16" formed from an old 19" house axe handle. Feels really great like an extension of my hand

So far, only these two, but a Hultafors Classic Hunting is in the mail.
