Love that handle on the Flint Edge!

Yeah, it's sexy as hell!

Muleman those are some gorgeous axes! Super nice that you work them too! What is the species of wood in the last photo? I can't make it out! Is it a big fir? A spruce?

Thanks. I don't believe they like to sit idle, even nice ones
That last picture, in a stump with the saw, is a ponderosa pine snag.

Look at how thick that bark is! Ponderosa Pine?

Beauty at Work... A Connie and Crosscut

Hope you are having fun out there and safe @Mulemann77

After looking back thru the thread, I realized I have lost one or two and gained a few others and inspired by muleman77 and his proficient, professional use today of these beautiful axes...here are my humble Connie's that get their shared yet nominal use and a couple that dont.

Thanks for hanging in and looking at the Connie's in my collection that I have hung or rehung or the one Legitimus you see in there that still needs attention from the day I brought him home.

So many heads and so few handles and time

First pic, top left, Flint Edge?

Yes it is, on original handle I believe.

Thanks, I love that one.

Just one modest offering that I’ve posted elsewhere but will add it here for posterity.

3lb stamp on poll. I suspect the handle to be original.

It's fire season. He's probably running supplies out to some back country fire line.

Stay safe, buddy.

I love this axe...excellent leather too

 

[Fmont]

Me too Miller '72 . So much so I saved the photo for reference. I've got a handle going right now that's pretty similar but it's designated for a Plumb Rockaway. But I have a FE Connie that needs exactly as above.

You remind me I have a Plumb Victory Connie that needs to be hung and join the pack.

That makes me want to start making leather covers for mine, but I need another 'hobby' like I need another wife.

Thanks for the kind words, you guys have it pretty well figured. Packing mules and falling hazard trees on fire, has been keeping me pretty busy. Nice mellow fires though, as it goes. Just getting started on extreme fire season here in all reality.
