Hello there from Down Under, New Zealand, I see you have run into a few of us before. Anyways, I am new new new to all this. Found your site a few months back and have been in the process of stalking the membership in order to see if you all know what you are about. I have since come to the conclusion that most of you do, so, that made me decide to join up and say hello to you all.
That introductory ramble was perhaps somewhat misleading. The real reason I am here, after hopefully bestowing you with the warm fuzzies knowing you are one of the ones who know what you are about I was referencing earlier, was to ID this errrr, ummm, hatchet? I came across in the bottom of my tool cabinet.
From what I can tell it is a WWII era Whitehouse (and possibly sons) shingling hatchet.
I can see you asking yourself "You just id'ed it yurself ya darn doofus!". Well, that is what I just said to myself anyway.
What I am wanting to know though is whether or not I use it as a practice jobber, or I stash it away for after I have worked on a few chinesium bugger to 'get my eye in'?
What say you.
Oh, and some pictures.
