Ice Ax

So sweet. I really love the squared head, with the contrasts between the curve on the edge and the squared hammer poll. The handle looks great as well.
 
The cold weather sure slowed down the finish on this ax. Luckily the customer is in no big rush. It finished out pretty nice. The hamon is still there but it must be camera shy. I'm going to need to use a different finish in the winter time. I put 4 coats of Watco Teak Finish on this haft and had to use my heat treating oven set at 80 degrees to speed up the curing process and it still took for ever. I did that inbetween each coat.
