Finished these up yesterday. This is a style I've been thinking about making for over a year and finally got around to trying it. There's so many different styles of this ax I decided to go with this one what ever that means. Here's the Mother and her off spring. Both heads were forged from solid bar 1065. Mother has a ash haft, the son has a curley maple haft. The father must have been a doug fir. Here's an interesting link: http://www.lanouvelle-france.com/

Whoa! Very cool, love the finish, looks like they'd be rite at home on a rifle man's belt.
