Finally got my norlund and collins handled w/pics

[bearhunter]

hey all! i've been gone/busy for awhile now. got these handles on awhile ago but haven't been around to post pics.
both handles are from the 1950's. the saddle axe handle is from cocobolo wood (i know it's not the best wood for an axe handle, but it is a gift for my wife and will only be used for light camp duty. plus it's beautiful like my wife).
the norlunds total length and weight are: 13 3/8" & 1lb 4oz
the saddle axe is: 15 3/4" & 1lb 10oz
hope you enjoy the pics. thanks for looking...
