Turned out great. I think your dad would like it.

Great looking axe, Agent H.

I wonder if this is from the same line? The larger one also was red at one point.

I can't say. Red paint was real popular.

Thank you. They seem to come out better with the more time I spend on each stage.

The only problem now is that I like it a lot...

Sorry but I don't understand what you did to the handle. Looks like you grabbad a standard Link handle from the local farm and ranch and just sanded it down a bit. Details?

Was trying to pattern the new handle after this Collins boy’s axe. I really like the angles leading into the swell and came pretty close.
The fawn’s foot is steeper and the belly is just a touch thinner than the throat/grip on purpose.

It is a Link (or other maker) handle. Correct. It was sanded some. Correct.
I tried to get it to look and feel like the handle on the axe above it. The belly of the handle I filed down a bit more to make it slightly thinner than the throat so when you grip it there it handles like a large hatchet.

Okay, gotcha. Thanks.
