Built My Own Felling Axe Handle with a Collins 3 1/2 Head

[psirus]

Hey everyone. I'm new to the forums, but wanted to share my latest project with some others that might enjoy.

Starting in January of 2012, I began the process of building an American Felling axe and just finished the project this past week.

Great story. I applaud your sticktoitiveness. I bet you learned a few new skills along the way, too.

You'll always treasure that tool.
