Thanks Snake - I've still got about 8 to go. I've got two CS Trailhawks that I'm going to mod. I hope to do better on them. On the one I woodburned, I didn't get the arrow very straight or as good as I wanted.

I've also been doing walking sticks of chokecherry wood. I'll post some of those pictures here too.

My Friends: I've made about 10 of these walking sticks. But I've also given most of them away. Here are three and I put a long handle garden cultivator in the picture for perspective. The block fence is 4" tall.

PS Snake - even thought I don't have my Pit Bull any longer (The dog in the picture wasn't mine - but I really like the picture!). My son does still have his. I'll post a picture of his dog sometime soon. BTW, thanks for your kind words!

Pat - it says PLUM on the left side of the blade. So, I'm guessing it's an old Plum roofing hatchet/hammer.

Teague,
Nice work. Makes me want to get working on my axes & hatchets. I was gonna save them for winter projects, but now I'm not gonna wait. BTW, where in Idaho?

Nice looking collection you have going there. You did a good job on cleaning them up.
Thanks for the pic's and keep them coming when you get more done....

 

[Teague]

Junkyard - Thanks for the compliment. I live in Burley.

vec - thanks for the comment. Your opinion humbles me.

Dusty - Will do and thanks for your comments.

Nice work! I like all the walking sticks a whole lot too!

There's something really special about old axes, isn't there?

 

[Teague]

Thanks Dogwood! There sure is something special about old hatchets and axes. The American frontier was built by the blades of these special tools. They used axes and hawks/hatchets to build their homes, collect wood for the winter and even fought with them. They (hawks/hatchets) go perfectly With a Bowie Knife and Hawkin .50 BP rifle.

Here is the next batch of four..

The first one is and old Plumb. It already had the design carved into it. I sandblasted the head then soaked it in apple cider vinegar overnight to put a patina on it. I did the same (sandblasting and vinegar treatment) on the head of the second (Acme) hatchet. The third picture is a Collins hatchet and the head already had a great patina on it with little rust. Tha last hatchet is a Vaughn #99 Professional. I left the head alone on it and just cleaned it up and sharpened it after refurbishing the handle. I hope you enjoy looking at these. I still have two hawks and two specialty hatchets left to finish. Enjoy!

BTW, the pictures don't do justice to the way the handles turned out.
